In this engaging episode, we delve into the journey of Tijani and Yazmin as a married couple with a two-year-old daughter, exploring their growth together. Starting with their college days, where Yazmin found Tijani loud and obnoxious, attributing it to his extroverted nature, while Tijani believes Yazmin's introverted nature colored her perception. Despite this, they ended up married, showcasing a remarkable life journey. Both grew up poor as first-generation immigrants, Yazmin from Veracruz, Mexico, and Tijani from West Africa, Sierra Leone, later becoming the first in their families to graduate college. Their relationship flourished through college, multiple jobs, and long-distance challenges when Yazmin pursued Teach for America in North Carolina. They married in 2014, and together paid off a $34,329.20 consumer debt in under a year. Their story is a testament to perseverance, love, and building the American Dream.
