In this episode, Lovely Merdelus is recording her first solo episode. It's going to be pure Flame. She is discussing her journey as a social entrepreneur and now as a full fledged business entrepreneur.
Her journey was one of acceptance, mental shifting and purpose. In the long run, she knows that her purpose is to teach and help small businesses scale up. Her experience in big tech and growing in a company that was ultimately valued at a billion dollars, showed her that anything is possible.
Listen for gems and find your purpose.
Here's a bit about our background and who we are:
The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the racial wealth gap.
Merriam-Webster defines a Griot as a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, or musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages. As a result of the former of these two functions, they are sometimes called a bard.
As such, we tell the stories that others don't. Stories that we should share for growth, opportunity and understanding. Beyond that we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporating actionable steps and ultimately building generational wealth.
So there you have it, The Financial Griot or TFG for short. You will be in for a treat. The hosts were able to amass over $2.5 Million in wealth in about 8 years and are on track to retire early. If you want the secrets; we will gladly share them since opportunity is abundant and Win-Win.
