Now she shares her wealth-building tips with other Black women.
One of her coworkers was a "Tesla bull," an investor who believes in Tesla's aggressive growth in the future, who kept pushing her to buy Tesla shares.
Now she's teaching Black women everything she knows about the stock market by starting a community called Modern Blk Girl (MBG).
James believes that the stock market was designed to seem "scary or unattainable," especially for Black women and people of color.
"It's motivating, having a big-sister, little-sister moment where Black women who have been trading for a while can mentor younger investors," shares James.
