For many women, especially those who are women of color, access to financial education isn\\u2019t as readily available. But our guest today is trying to change that once and for all. Today we\\u2019re welcoming the founder of Clever Girl Finance, Bola Sokunbi. Bola received an early lesson in money when her father became ill and had to stop working unexpectedly. The problem with this was that he had used up all of his money to send her three brothers to college and didn\\u2019t have any money left over for Bola to further her education.

Luckily, it was her mother, who began as a home maker, who told her that she would pay for Bola\\u2019s schooling from the money that she\'d set aside from her side hustles and entrepreneurial pursuits over the years. Because of her mother\\u2019s hard work, Bola was able to leave Nigeria, get an education and go on to found her own business, empowering women to be financially savvy.

Her company, Clever Girl Finance has helped thousands of women, over the years, receive coaching and financial education they need to advance their lives. Bola is also the author of the fourth coming book, Clever Girl Finance: Ditch Debt, Save Money and Build Real Wealth. It will be available on June 25th.
