Hey hey! I’m Kionnie,
the creator of The Responsible Homegirl, a financial education company committed to helping adults and teens become financially responsible so that they can live the lives of their dreams, and together, we can close the racial wealth gap and end cycles of poverty.
Although I'm your responsible homegirl, now, I used to be the leader of the irresponsible homegirls.

All of my bad money habits had finally caught up with me, and in that moment, I realized I was never taught a thing about money beyond making it, spending it, and barely saving it. *sighs*
