Jameel Webb-Davis

Founder, MJ Organizers and Start Money$mart

The idea might have been simmering in her head for years, but it only took one sleepless night to launch Jameel Webb-Davis into starting the business of her dreams. Tossing and turning one night, Jameel got out of bed, turned on her computer, and found CWE. A phone call the next morning enrolled her in an information session, two days later she attended her first seminar, and within a week, Jameel was signed up for every class she could find.

Jameel knew how to make an impact by helping people organize their finances. The only question was, could she pursue her dreams and still pay her mortgage?

CWE helped Jameel realize the answer was yes. Six weeks after that first seminar, she quit her job and went full-time as her own boss, founding MJ Organizers. Her momentum hasn’t slowed.

She also recognized a root problem: teenagers aren’t being raised with an understanding of how to manage their finances. In response to this need, she has also founded Start Money$mart, a financial literacy program for teens. Not one to rest, Jameel is now working to create materials and workbooks for schools to incorporate into their curriculums.
