Let’s Start your Journey to Financial Freedom

Do you want to eliminate debt or buy a house? Maybe you want to start a business, or simply be more mindful of your money. Whatever your situation, I am here to help you navigate your journey to financial freedom.

My name is Jarrai “Jay” Stephens and I have built an entire business around teaching people (just like you) how to become financially independent. As the Founder of Rich Like My Melanin, it is my mission to help people achieve their financial goals. With 39% of U.S. households unable to plan ahead financially, I am on a mission to decrease this number. I want to teach you how to be financially prepared to achieve your dreams.  

 

“Your journey to financial freedom begins today!”

What is financial freedom?

Financial freedom is the ability to control your finances, without having your finances control you. Picture your ideal life. What does it look like? Are you able to travel more? Spend more time with loved ones? Pursue a hobby or interest? Now think about how you can live this life. What is keeping you from living the way you want to? If you are like most people, you are tied to financial circumstances that prevent you from living the life of your dreams. Whether it is the routine of paying bills, the burden of debt, or the angst of a large unexpected expense, your personal financial situation impacts your life. Financial freedom is the ability to have a fulfilling life where money does not limit your options. It is the security and transparency to know that you are in control of your wealth journey.

How can I achieve financial freedom?

You can achieve financial freedom by learning how to build wealth. My signature “Ask Anything” program delivers personalized and practical financial advice to help you achieve your goals. We will understand your current financial position, build a customized roadmap to navigate your journey, and maintain accountability. I will be here to help you on every step of your journey. We will work together to build a life that you love.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Who is the woman behind the Journey?

I am Jarrai Stephens, but you can call me Jay

My friends describe me as the fun and witty homegirl who knows all about finance. My passion is to make learning about personal finance fun! As a true advocate for financial freedom, it is my goal to help you on your journey to living your dream life. I paid off $50,000 of debt, doubled my annual salary, and purchased my second investment property in less than eight months. Now I am a financial coach teaching people that they can do it too!

Success Stories

On average, my clients increase their annual salary by 50% or find an additional $2,400 a year in their budget.

Don’t just take it from me…
