Alicia Holmes, Financial Educator and Coach at Journey to Wealth

Beginning as a twenty-one-year-old with few financial assets and a modest income from working in the non-profit sector, Alicia Holmes became a self-made millionaire in her early 30s, achieving full financial independence by her early 40s.  

Ms. Holmes worked at New York University for over 20 years and eventually held the position of Director of Financial Operations. In the course of her work, she managed more than 30 million grant/institutional dollars.  Her focus for the state- and university-sponsored programs was the improvement of the life outcomes of young people in underserved communities. Inspired by her wish to help others, Ms. Holmes conducted numerous seminars on financial literacy and wealth building for university students, parents, and local groups.

Ms. Holmes was fortunate to have been coached early in life about the path to building wealth. The simple truth she learned at the outset was to move from the consumer mindset of spending to the investor mindset that starts with living below your means and ends with investing your savings so that your money works for you.

Ms. Holmes spends her time teaching women of color about building wealth and financial freedom to improve the quality of life for themselves and their families. She strongly believes that the right money mindset with vital practical knowledge and powerful intention will create financial freedom for woman and all those important to them.

Ms. Holmes is driven to do this work by a commitment to the idea that women have the power—choice, agency, and comfort—in their financial well-being. Her company, Journey to Wealth, helps women of color achieve financial freedom and live the lives of their dreams. Learn more at: wealthywomanmagic.com
