NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Shonte Deveaux
       Persona Financial EducatorÂ
As a first-generation Bahamian woman living in America, I know exactly what it feels like to have big goals but very few answers when it comes to money.
I still remember being in college as an international student, attending a career fair, and learning about credit cards for the first time. I was shocked that someone was offering me what felt like “free money.” My spidey senses were tingling, so I started digging. What is a credit card? How does credit actually work?
