Certified Domestic Violence Counselor & Advocate
HI, I'M JUSTINE!
I'm a former classroom teacher turned Certified Financial Educator (CFEI), Money Coach, and Domestic Violence Counselor. As the founder of Afraid to Affluent, I specialize in helping BIPOC women who are domestic violence survivors develop the confidence and financial literacy skills needed to navigate challenging financial situations.
My commitment to supporting BIPOC women and domestic violence survivors began in 2007. For three years, I served at a local courthouse, helping individuals dealing with divorce, child custody, and eviction. Although there are many reasons couples seek divorce, financial challenges and domestic violence are among the most common.
Despite building a career in education, I transitioned to financial services after leaving a physically, emotionally, and psychologically abusive marriage. My dedication to helping those in abusive and toxic relationships is deeply personal and fuels my passion for this work.
I know firsthand the struggles of navigating difficult financial situations: having no emergency fund, accumulating high credit card debt, living paycheck to paycheck, going into collections, and hitting financial rock bottom.
But guess what? I also know how to bounce back STRONGER, SMARTER, HEALTHIER, and WEALTHIER.
Now, I'm passionate about teaching women and domestic violence survivors how to reclaim their confidence, and become financially secure and money smart!
WORK WITH ME

"I have benefited tremendously from the Ignite Your F.I.R.E program! I was able to learn along
with my students and even though I wish I could have learned this earlier in life it's still better
late than never. Thanks to this program I have now opened a high yield savings account with
Ally Bank, like Justine recommended. I have also opened an E-Trade brokerage account and
have invested in about 10 different ETFs like I learned to do thanks to this program."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I recently consulted with Justine to address my debt and budgeting challenges. I was struggling to create an effective debt repayment plan, but Justine guided me through two approaches to tackle my debt. Thanks to her assistance, I now feel more confident and organized in my budgeting efforts, and I have a solid plan in place to pay off my debt. Before this, I often felt anxious and unable to make progress on reducing my debt. Justine's advice and support have equipped me with the necessary details, plan, and confidence to achieve financial success."

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Before meeting with Justine I was lost, scared, and a little embarrassed about my finances. I knew I had debt (student loans, dental, credit card) but I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. I landed a new better paying job and didn't know how to manage my money. Since working with her, I have less worry and stress about finances. My relationship with money has improved and I'm more confident and financially literate. It was nice to have a non-judgmental & unbiased person to sort my finances with. I have more control over my money, I'm paying off debt, and most importantly I have a plan! I never would have gotten here without Justine and her uplifting and empowering demeanor. Thank you Justine!"
