As a wife, mother of three, and first-generation immigrant, she defied the odds to break free from the shackles of financial constraints and embrace a life of abundance and fulfillment.
The journey began when Jamila made the bold decision to depart from the confines of her corporate job in her early forties. Fueled by a desire for freedom over her time and finances, she embarked on a path to entrepreneurship, founding Journey to Launch, a platform dedicated to empowering others to achieve financial liberation without sacrificing happiness.

Her insights on financial freedom have been sought after by audiences worldwide, from the pages of Business Insider to the screens of CNBC and CBS.
In her book, Jamila shares the blueprint for her own success, unveiling how she saved an impressive $169,000 in just two years, paving the way for her transition to full-time entrepreneurship. Drawing from her experiences as a New Yorker raising a family in the city that never sleeps, she offers practical advice on balancing immediate gratification with long-term financial goals.
From navigating investment strategies to tackling debt payoff plans, Your Journey to Financial Freedom serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals at every stage of their financial journey. Jamila’s expertise shines through as she demystifies complex concepts and offers actionable steps towards financial empowerment.
