Dami Mike-Adeogun

Presidential Scholar at Alabama State University | W.E.B. DuBois Honors Program

I'm a student focused on building financial security and freedom through smart habits and strong foundations. I believe that being in control of your money—spending wisely, saving for the future, and avoiding too much debt—creates the freedom to handle life's unexpected moments without stress. My work centers on helping people develop good financial habits early so they can build stable, successful futures.

"You have to take the crooked with the straights."

— Traditional Wisdom

Life doesn't follow a perfect path. This reminds me that financial health isn't about avoiding every setback—it's about building systems strong enough to handle the unexpected and keep moving forward anyway.

What does being financially healthy mean to you?

Being financially healthy means being in control of your money, spending wisely, and saving for the future. It's about avoiding too much debt, having an emergency fund, and feeling secure enough to handle unexpected expenses without stress.

What motivates your work in financial health?

Being financially healthy is motivating because it provides freedom and security. It allows for covering needs, handling emergencies, and enjoying life without constant money worries. Developing good financial habits early helps build a stable and successful future.

Current Goal

Building a strong savings account to ensure stability and security. Having savings makes it easier to handle unexpected expenses, avoid debt, and work toward future opportunities without financial stress.
