On today's episode we have Naseema McElroy, the founder of Financially Intentional, to share her story of debt free living. Naseema recognized she was living a “normal” life in our society, but she felt an underlying tension with her debt. Through intentional change and education, she managed to pay off $1 million of debt and restart her financial journey, helping rewrite the story for other generations as well. Naseema shares about the lessons she learned on the journey, especially as a Black woman who is a leader in the space educating others. Enjoy!

• Finding contentment
• Amplifying marginalized voices
