Welcome! I started BalancedCheckbook to spread information about personal finance to others who have gone through the better part of their lives without proper access to it.

It wasn’t until college that I got my introduction to the world of financial management, a subject area I was very much not properly taught about growing up. Since then, I have had a decade of experience in the financial services industry and I want to share the knowledge I have gained along the way. I am especially passionate about making sure women of color are armed with the knowledge and resources they need to stay ahead of their financial situation. I fundamentally believe that financially literate women are better for our families and communities.

Be sure to stick around and explore as I unpack all things personal finance (budgeting, saving, investing, retirement planning, money mindset, etc)!
