As a successful example of what it means to be a Black woman in business and entrepreneurship, Janay has managed to acquire over 26 AirBnBs and has succor all 26 for over a year. She has also purchased a plethora of investment properties using business credit only and coached mentees who serve in real estate with purchasing properties using business credit totaling over $2.5 million.

Janay conducts seminars, classes, and even one-on-one counseling sessions to pass her knowledge of credit to others. She calls her seminars, The Credit Repair University where she focuses mainly on her mission to preach what she is practicing, i.e., financial independence especially while being a woman. She believes that with the right information, dedication and willpower, anyone can achieve financial independence.
