Devoted to women of color in business

Suze Orman showed up by surprise this past weekend and since I was near the exit, I snapped a candid shot of her before her introduction.

What's inspiring about this financial powerhouse is that she was almost broke at one point, in major debt, and overwhelmed. When you're really down, there's nowhere to go but up: her enterprises are worth $50million now.


Here is her bio from her website:

Suze, a Certified Financial Planner Professional®, directed the Suze Orman Financial Group from 1987-1997, served as Vice President of Investments for Prudential Bache Securities from 1983-87, and from 1980-83, was an Account Executive at Merrill Lynch. Prior to that, she worked as a waitress at the Buttercup Bakery in Berkeley, California, from 1973-80. She currently resides in Southern Florida.
