In this episode of Becoming with Angelina Watkins, Angelina interviews Vonne Williams.

In this interview, Vonne shares her journey of being an entrepreneur which began as a struggle but later became a success. Vonne speaks on how she hit rock bottom such as living in her minivan, coming out of a not-so-great relationship and was actually running from her life. This all began when she and her partner started a non-profit organization in arts and education.

They were doing well but she had thrown all her resources and finances into the organization and when the recession hit in 2007, she was left with nothing, no resources and no money. She shares this was partly because she did not take care of herself, mental state, finances and her old business.

Through prayer and talking to people, she realized that she had a niche which was in finance. With encouragement from her mother she enrolled in a tax class that she really enjoyed and enabled her to teach business owners how to take advantage of the tax code and deductions. If you want to learn more about tax code, stay tuned to understand why Vonne says, “Don’t die broke.”
