Paris spent years working in education and wanted to find a way to build wealth without changing careers or taking the traditional real estate or business routes.

"The Black Girl's Guide to Financial Freedom is a great roadmap to mastering your money - and learning a lot about yourself in the process. With practical advice and a solid dose of big sister wisdom, Paris Woods shows you how to check your financial assumptions, reframe unhealthy attitudes about money, and figure out the best path for your unique financial journey." —Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, The Money Coach(R), author of the New York Times bestseller, Zero Debt: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Freedom
