Black female financial gurus are breaking barriers in the personal finance realm. They serve as role models to women everywhere, especially women of color. There’s something inspirational about seeing someone who looks like you achieve the same goal that you want to achieve. Their visibility consistently gives me the motivation to meet my own financial goals because if they can, why can’t I?

These female gurus have helped me in more ways than one because they’ve helped change my money habits and serve as inspiration. I am a regular on their sites, a fan of their books and a member of some of their Facebook groups. Surrounding myself with role models, resources and other women interested in reaching financial goals will surely feed your ambition for financial independence, as it does for me.
