Angela Duncan

Angela Duncan was raised in Section 8 housing, welfare and working at a young age. Her journey has been marked by resilience and determination.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Growing up in poverty was challenging. I knew I had to become financially educated and change my mindset to abundance. It has not been easy, and is something I work on every day. Through constant growth and education, I continue on this journey and help others change their money mindset. I focus on controlling my input- meaning what am I listening to, what is my brain absorbing. I am very intentional with how I start my day. I am an early riser, and I go outside and bring my journal with me. In my journal, I write 10 of my current goals and 10 things I am grateful for. And to include the smaller things in my life, like the ability to see or hear.

What was your favorite childhood memory?
My entrepreneurial spirit started at a young age. I remember I was six, I think; my cousins and I made origami and went to sell it door to door in our neighborhood. Who can resist a couple of young girls selling paper for 25 cents. We were so excited to earn our own money in which we planned to use for the ice cream truck later that day. I remember that feeling of accomplishment and gratitude for having my own money. I went home to share with my mom what I had done. Well, she wasn’t so happy because I crossed the street without permission. She did take my hard-earned money away, and I had to re-earn it from her. But she could not take away that proud feeling I had making money.
