Financial Joy

About Ken Okoroafor

An optimist with a deep appetite for winning and becoming successful at anything I commit to. I grew up in the bustling City of Lagos (Nigeria) for most of my formative years and this has not only taught me great Resilience but also given me a creative approach to solving problems as well as a healthy appetite for risk-taking. I hold a First Class honours degree in Economics & Accountancy from City, University of London.

I’m also a Chartered Accountant (ACA, ICAEW) and an Executive MBA holder from the University of Cambridge. I have experience of setting up, building and selling businesses, and have worked with high-growth small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) over the last 15 years, including extensively in Investment Management.

Today, I am personally 100% debt free and moved from the limited universe of just being an Employee to become a keen Investor and Business owner; with a Passion for Helping and Teaching others what has worked (and not worked!) for me in my journey to Financial Independence and Freedom. Above this, it is my desire to enjoy the process, keep learning and remember in all things to be thankful and ultimately Seek Joy.

About Mary Okoroafor

I'm a creative at heart and skilled at all things digital. When I became pregnant with our first son, I took the big leap to retrain in childcare and managed one of our family nurseries. I got thrown into the deep end and for 5 years, learnt everything there is to know about how to run a nursery business.

Those business skills coupled with my digital skills have given me a solid skillset now working from home in charge of all creative work for The Humble Penny and our sister brand, Financial Joy Academy.

Life today looks very different to my childhood having been born not too long after my parents emigrated to the UK. I was born into a hardworking immigrant family and have always had to fight for my place. I've grown up a dreamer and always wanted a totally different life from the one that I grew up with.

Today, I'm thankful to be living a version of that life I always wanted and that continues to drive me and inspire our children.

Seeking wisdom, leaning on my talents, having a positive life outlook and believing in a better future have helped to shape the life that we enjoy today.
