Hey, I’m Joshlyn and I am a Certified Financial Educator, Speaker, Content Creator, and Self-Taught Investor who has generated over $500 in monthly passive income and paid off over $80,000 in student loan debt. I’ve helped over 40 women jumpstart their investing journey and supported over 30 women in purchasing their first homes. I’ve also partnered with companies such as Fundrise, Marcus by Goldman Sachs, and Chase Bank just to name a few.

But this wasn’t always my story. Statistics show that 73% of millennials are living paycheck to paycheck and I was a part of that number for a long time. It was a combination of experiences – such as being laid off unexpectedly, quitting a toxic job with no real income plan, and struggling to purchase my first home – that taught me the importance of financial independence. Statistics also show that black women earn 63 cents for every dollar earned by white men, and I envision a world where women never have to be at the mercy of an employer (or a limited salary) ever again.

Today, as the founder of Maximized Money, I am normalizing a world where women have options and freedom. Freedom to be wherever and do whatever by using the income they earn now to create the life they’ve always desired.
