#44 - Paying Off Student Loans While Building Wealth w/ Sonia Lewis

With the rise in conversation surrounding student loan cancellation, we had to bring a Melanin Millionaire’s perspective to the conversation! With nearly 2 Trillion Dollars owed in student loans, Americans are in danger of not having the substantial net worth they work so hard for.  Sonia Lewis ( The Student Loan Doctor) is on a mission to help as many Melanin Entrepreneurs navigate through the journey of paying down ( and eventually off ) their student loan debt. In this episode we unpack : 

 

• The disproportionate ways student loan debt affects people of color , in particular, women and how she is advocating and equipping them for freedom. 

• Staying the Course As An Entrepreneur: the early days of her journey to help others navigate through their student loan woes and how she branded herself as the Student Loan Doctor. 
• Planning For the Future : putting together an actionable plan for paying down your student loan debt. 

• Paying for the Past : working through the mental and emotional toll of paying for the past expenses related to your college experience. 
• Relationships and Debt : being honest and transparent about one’s financial standing with a significant other and “counting the cost” to see how financial health can affect the relationship. 

And so much more!
