College students or parents, friends of college students, if you're trying to graduate debt-free, or if you're trying to become financially literate, this is the episode for you! In this episode, I’m talking to teen activist and nonprofit founder, Cherie Animashaun, about all things scholarships, saving, investing, and carving out a life you love—especially when the world expects you to have it all figured out by graduation. I believe money is our best form of protest, and Cherie’s determined to help young women rise into leadership by making financial literacy and personal development more accessible. We’re talking top scholarship tips, how to juggle side hustles, balancing your own needs with service to others, and so much more. If your goal is to graduate debt-free, build wealth, and still leave room for your passions, you’ve found the right episode!
