Why They Need Me

For Schools:

Students today are entering adulthood without the foundational knowledge needed to succeed financially or the skills to use credit wisely. My programs and talks equip young people with the tools to:

  • Understand credit and its impact on their future.

  • Develop smart money habits early.

  • Break generational cycles of financial struggles.

For Churches:

Faith communities often serve as pillars of support and growth. I help congregations learn to steward resources wisely, empowering members to build stronger financial legacies and use their blessings to uplift others because when we aren't worried about money we can say "yes" to our purpose and assignments.

For Classes and Conferences:

Financial literacy is a critical skill that is often overlooked. My aim is to deliver engaging and interactive presentations that inspire attendees to take immediate action. Attendees have left my sessions equipped with practical tools, valuable resources, and the confidence to navigate the financial system effectively.

Magazines

I am grateful for the opportunity to be featured in

VoyageTampa Magazine where I shared the story behind Durant Enterprises and the turning point that led me to this mission.

Back in college when I signed up for a credit card thinking it would “build credit”— no one explained the fine print or the impact of mismanaging it. That moment turned into years of frustration, denials, and costly mistakes… but also fueled a bigger purpose.

In the interview, I talked about how those early challenges inspired me to create a platform that makes credit and financial literacy clear, accessible, and actionable—especially for young adults and new investors.

I broke down how Durant Enterprises is built to:
