SQUAD!!!! Get excited! I am so happy to introduce you to one of my mentors and someone that I admire and respect so much: Jamila Souffrant of the Journey to Launch Podcast! I have been following Jamila and her journey to financial independence for about 3 years, and I feel so blessed that she took the time to sit down with me.

Jamila Souffrant is a podcaster, writer and founder of JourneytoLaunch.com where she shares her journey to reach Financial Independence while helping others do the same.

Jamila is considered a go-to financial thought leader in the personal finance field and is the resident financial expert on a weekly segment on News12, the most watched local TV news-station in NYC and has been featured in other notable media outlets such as ESSENCE, Refinery 29, Money Magazine, CNBC, CBS, Business Insider and more.
