ABOUT Zaneilia
My real relationship with finances and investing started when I was in college. We flirted a bit, like all young girls do. Then I found myself becoming more interested in learning about finances, including investing and financial planning. The real courting happened when I started investing a portion of my monthly income to purchase Money Magazine and read it from cover to cover. At that time, I didn’t completely understand all the concepts in the magazine, but I told myself that the more I read, the better I would understand the ideas. I became very fascinated with stories that profiled people's financial challenges and potential solutions. In reading the scenarios, I could see myself helping others with sound financial advice, so I wrote it down in my personal journal of my dreams and aspirations as a career I will pursue.
In 2000, I made the commitment. I started my investment career with Edward Jones Investments and after success in the corporate world, I started Harris & Harris Wealth Management. Why? I was frustrated with the way investment companies treated women. The way they spoke to us, and the way they overlooked us. Today, I am focus on providing financial advice and support to successful professional Black women, the way only a Black woman can. I am happy to say that now my purpose and my profession are one.
