Dyana King is a break-the-rules type of mom. She’s hell-bent on showing you that your “place” is exactly where you envision yourself.
She went from struggling to afford her daughters $50 monthly daycare fee to paying off her $13,283 debt in only 18 months.
This mama on a mission to empower women to fall in love with money, do the work that strums your heartstrings, and be your own definition of success.
When I asked her about the inspiration behind her blog, she stated:
I want women, especially mothers, to know that their place is not just in a kitchen. Their “place” is exactly where they envision themselves. Whether that vision is a successful business owner or just a money savvy mom, I want to be someone in their corner rooting for them. I know what it feels like to completely lose your individuality to motherhood, and I also know what it feels like to get it back and go after everything people told you that you couldn’t/shouldn’t. I want to empower other mothers to do the same.
Money. Boss. Mama represents the millennial mom who isunapologeticallycalling the shots in her life. She is redefining what it means to be a woman, a mother, and an overall individual. If something seems out of her reach, she’ll just grab a stool.
