Now to Tania Mabrey’s story.

Something snapped in Tania Mabrey when she saw her family lose a property in a tax auction because of unpaid taxes. She was a young girl, accustomed to lack, but determined to grow into a woman who not only understood wealth but could also teach others how to build and protect it.

Raised by a single mother, facing multiple evictions and living below the poverty line, Tania had every reason never to dream too big. But she also had something else: an entrepreneurial spirit. Her first hustle? Selling friendship bracelets in elementary school, with order forms offering colour and pattern options!

Adulthood found her in legal technology, later transitioning into software sales, where she sat in boardrooms negotiating deals with C-suite executives—and growing her wealth.

Two decades in, she finally trusted she had learned enough to begin transferring that knowledge. Her coaching programs were born: Wisdom, then Wealth and Scale Our Black Architects. Through coaching, speaking, and creating resources, Tania works with one goal: to make sure the next generation starts from an advantage, not survival.

Of course, not every step was smooth. A season of burnout after publishing her book, 7-Figure Net Worth, nearly stole her shine. But she learned rest is not weakness, it’s a strategy. Now, she builds systems that create freedom, flexibility, and peace.

Her mission is clear: closing the racial wealth gap and helping Black people create long-term financial stability. And whether her workshops had two people or two hundred, Tania kept showing up with stubborn determination, encouraged every time someone reached out to say her work helped them get out of debt or start investing.

Behind the Scenes with Tania

Every powerhouse has moments that test their resolve. Here’s what Tania has learned along the way:

• Obstacle that nearly broke me: Burnout after publishing my book, 7-Figure Net Worth. It took months of slowing down and prioritising rest to bounce back.

• Times I felt like giving up: Workshops with low turnout, posts with no engagement. But every testimony reminded me why I can’t stop.

• How I deal with setbacks now: Pause, pray, reassess, adapt. Failure = feedback, not a verdict.

• What keeps me grounded: Faith, gratitude, and the conviction that this work is bigger than me.

• My biggest “why”: To make sure the next generation starts from a place of advantage.

Mindset & Mission

• Success isn’t about grinding nonstop; it’s about building sustainable systems, protecting your peace, and cultivating freedom.

• Navigating spaces where I’ve been underestimated sharpened my resilience and taught me to own my voice.

• Representation means being proof that someone who looks like me, talks like me, and has my background can build wealth and lead change.

• Faith keeps me anchored. Pivoting quickly when things don’t work keeps me moving.

Daily Life & Discipline

• Typical day: Morning prayer, Bible reading, and coffee ☕ → coaching calls, content creation, and outreach → end with movement or reading. 

“Three times a week I work out with a friend!”

• 3 tools & rituals that keep her steady:
  ✅ Weekly “money date” with my husband
  ✅ Calendar time-blocking for priorities
  ✅ Regular movement for energy

• Balancing hustle & rest: I schedule massages, downtime, and fun the same way I schedule meetings.

Advice, Myths & Legacy

• Advice to younger self: Buy lots of Bitcoin 😅.
• Myth to bust: Entrepreneurship isn’t instant freedom. It’s work, but you can design it for control and flexibility.
• What women in business should know: Persistence is power. A “no” is often just the starting point.
• Legacy I’m building: A movement where financial freedom is the norm in Black communities.
