Hi new friend! 👋🏾

I’m Aleah - it’s nice to make your virtual acquaintance! 🤝

I’m a professional multi-disciplined artist and business owner navigating the journey of building wealth, gaining financial freedom, and living my best life without a salaried position. I share my learnings, experiences, and goals as I work toward millionaire status while staying creative with money and pursuing my dreams. I value transparency as much as vulnerability, so I’ll always share with openness, honesty, and authenticity.

As a person with huge dreams, sometimes what I write may seem wild. As an actor, you might expect a flare for the dramatic 💁🏾‍♀️ But that’s in my personality, not in my writings, which won’t ever be falsified or over-exaggerated.

Why subscribe?

I’m a big dreamer, overachiever, and life lover looking for balance, wealth, and to create my dream life in the most unconventional way: without a 9-to-5. By sharing my journey, life lessons, and experiences, I’m hoping to both help you and inspire you to do the same.

What you can expect:

Life lessons, how-to’s and guides to help you in your personal finances, and well as personal insights on my money and how I’m spending it, and the occasional wild dreams and crash outs that come with them <3

A little more about me 😊

Personally

I’m a married DINK (Dual Income No Kids) currently living in Ohio! I’m also queer, polyamorous, and have the world’s cutest librarian wife. My nationalities are Jamaican, Canadian, and American.

I love beluga whales, mocktails, the moon, and a good vampire story.

My guilty pleasures are reality TV, constantly dining out, and using emojis probably wayyyy more than I should 🫠

But this is me, and I’m okay with that!

Money wise

I’ve taken my personal finance journey seriously for the past 6 years. In 2020, I was a starving artist living below the poverty line making $15,000-$20,000 per year. Since then, I’ve:

  • 4x’ed my income in one year, going from $27k to $116k

  • paid off over $50,000 in debt, including my car note

  • created stable wealth through multiple income streams

  • have a full Life Cushion fund with 3-months expenses

  • having investments, $20k in savings, & retirement funds

There’s still a lot more on my to-do list, but I’ve come a long way! I’ll continue to share my journey through my writings.

Career wise

Theatre and performing have always been my main profession. Here’s a breakdown of what I do and get paid for in this field:

  • Acting (on stage & film)

  • Singing (musical theatre & singer-songwriter vibes)

  • Composing (writing musicals)

  • Writing (plays, poetry, songs)

  • Directing (plays)

I also have multiple businesses including:

  • a 6-figure online business & creative agency focusing in virtual assistance, VA coaching, and social media

  • being a content creator where I get brand deals, sell digital products, and offer creative coaching

  • a rental property

I hope you’re feeling a little more connected to me and my journey. I’m excited to share more with you!

Thank you for being here — I hope you stick around.

Wishing you abundance,

Aleah
