Step Towards an AWESOME Financial Future!: (Appalachia Edition)

Yoleen Lucas grew up in an Oakland ghetto where ignorance and its effects were rampant. She was blessed to attend Golden Gate Academy, a Christian school where she met a facts-of-life teacher who gave her the tools (knowledge) to escape. She obtained a Liberal Arts degree from the California State University system and an Associates in Administrative Justice at Hawaii Community College, joining the Phi Theta Kappa Society. She has held multiple careers as a substitute teacher, caregiver, and various jobs in the computer industry. Preparing young adults for life is her passion. She currently resides on the Big Island of Hawaii.
