David Afefeso has been working really hard to support kids and college students. He’s been posting all kinds of valuable advice on his social media account.
Tamar Braxton‘s BF has also been offering financial advice to his fans, and people really appreciated this.
‘At a cocktail party in the summer of 2017, a chance encounter changed the course of my career: A stranger and his daughter introduced themselves to me. She had graduated from college three years earlier, with $120,000 in student loans. Her current salary was $52,000. She had big dreams: to start her own business, buy a home, start a family – dreams that now seemed all but impossible with her student loans in tow,’ David began his post.
He told his fans that her story got to him and asked, ‘How can it be that a smart, young woman like her could be robbed of her dreams because she got an *education*? At the time, I was a multi-millionaire running my own finance company. Years earlier, I had arrived in the US with nothing but $250. Education had been my key to the American Dream.’

David continued and said: ‘I had little advice for the young woman at the cocktail party. Because my REAL answer would be that nobody should be in her position like in the first place. The system is broken. I’ve since been on a mission to completely eliminate the need for student loans through my company Sootchy Inc. 44 million Americans are stuck with student loans. That debt is preventing our children from starting their own businesses, families, or buying homes. It’s robbing them of their American Dream. And it’s time for this to change.’
People were really grateful to David for sharing his story and for his overall support.
Someone said: ‘Very true!!! Love this! Keep financial awareness post like this coming!!!’
Another grateful follower posted this: ‘Yes, it’s so sad the debt people are put in for and education. Make sure you share what you are going to do to help. Great message.’
Other than this, people are really happy to know that David is still together with Tamar.
