Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, Aaliyah Duah, Founder of Financial Revolution, witnessed many people, including herself, make poor financial decisions due to a lack of knowledge. Rather than relying on others to break the generational curse, she wanted to provide a platform for people in the black community to learn about financial literacy and the concept of generational wealth. Aaliyah began using her social media platforms to educate others about basic financial literacy terms and concepts, prompting her to establish an official page. She is also a Fall 21’ initiate of The Alpha Eta Chapter of The Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
