As a black female financial planner, I know that I'm a bit of a unicorn. Within the industry, only 23% of Certified Financial Planners are women, and a mere 3.5% are people of color. That means finding a planner that fits both groups is rare. When the diversity of the financial industry matches the diversity of the country, more people get help with their personal finances and everyone wins.

Worth Winning has transitioned over the years from a full-service virtual financial planning company to a financial education company. It’s my goal to empower young money makers with the financial literacy they need to reach the financial future of their dreams.
I don’t believe financial planning needs to be boring and restrictive. So, I’m providing FUNancial Welcome to Wealth events to help you create a financial plan, including:

I also offer financial coaching calls to get your questions answered or a complete financial roadmap for people looking for one-on-one financial planning services.

As a 4x Olympian, competition has been a dominant character trait in my life. In financial planning, I have found it more advantageous to view my peers as teammates rather than competitors. We’re all working towards a common goal — helping people with their finances — but we’re not all doing it in the same way.

While I want to help EVERYONE, I might not be the best financial planner for you. While all CFPs ® are well-versed in personal finances, we have different target markets and expertise. When someone doesn't fit well with me, I don't want to send them away empty-handed.

If you're looking for help with your finances and I'm not the fit for you, below is a list of black female planners I highly recommend. I know these ladies well, and we chat regularly about how to best serve our clients and how to bring more women into the industry.

Money is personal. I get that. And I know it is hard to know who you should trust with all the details of your financial situation. Especially because some of us were taught from a young age that money isn't something that should be talked about.

While that advice may have come from well-meaning family members, it is flawed. It's important to talk about your money so you can make sure you are using it in the most efficient manner possible.
So, how do you know which financial planner you should work with?

I've created a free resource you can use that shares what questions you should ask when deciding what financial planner to work with: Questions to Ask Your Potential Financial Professional
