Dasha Kennedy

Dasha Kennedy was born to two teenage parents and raised in a household where finances were not discussed. Her financial journey would be shaped by real-life struggles, experiencing single motherhood, raising two children, navigating divorce, and losing her father, all before the age of 29. She launched The Broke Black Girl as an online space to share financial wins and struggles. Through The Broke Black Girl, Kennedy built a platform that speaks directly to the financial realities traditional money experts often ignore: wage gaps, the burden of being the family’s financial backbone, debt inherited from generations of economic exclusion, and the emotional weight of money trauma. Now, Kennedy delivers the ultimate user-friendly resource, featuring engaging and relatable stories from her own personal finance journey.
