In this Flashback Friday episode, we have Jamilah N. McCluney. She started Black Wealth Financial after learning some very important money lessons the hard way. Being completely clueless as to how credit cards, mortgages, or 401ks worked, she found herself making horrible money moves and financial decisions, which would ultimately impact her financial future in a very real way. The process of dealing with money is very personal to Jamilah and she often sees a similarity and feels a connection with her clients no matter where they are along their financial path.

She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Howard University and believes that her background in behavioral science helps her understand how people think and feel in regards to their personal debt and finances. Jamilah's goal is to eliminate her clients' anxiety around money and to proactively and quickly get them out of debt, and on the path to living their best financial lives. She's been dedicated to this pursuit for nearly a decade and sees herself more as a financial coach and strategist. Her action plans are very hands-on and she's not afraid to speak the hard truths and realities when it comes to you and your money.
