Josette MandelaJosette Mandela, computer programmer analyst and entrepreneur, always enjoyed going to school and learning new things. Because she grasped new concepts quickly she rose rapidly in the companies that she joined. While building her career she also notied that many other women did not appear to be successful with basic financial skills.As Josette was busy building her own career she did not spend much time thinking about other women and money management until she was laid off the first time. Then she realized she should have paid more attention to what Mom said about saving for a rainy day.It wasn't until a few years later, when Josette was laid off the second time that she decided to write a basic finance book for women.Money is Freedom, a lifelong plan for economic independence, is the second incarnation of that book.Follow Josette on twitter @TheMoneyGirl or on the web at josettemandela.com.
