Great video! I'm Indian and first in my family to work for a CPA license. I've passed FAR and REG, and now studying for AUD!

Omg I attended and graduated from B-CU too! Started off as a business major and transitioned to accounting my Sophomore year. Since graduating, I’ve worked in corporate, but I still need to pass the exam. Thanks for this video!

I returned to college as an adult with 4 children. I picked accounting because it what I do best and and able to provide a better life for them. Hispanic here also.

I worked and studied at the same time. It was well worth the time, tears, and money. Growing up in New York, I never heard of CPA. I still get teary eyed when think about what I have accomplished. No one can’t take this from me.

This is very true I’m at a top 10 Accounting School in the country and I am the only black student in my class. Thanks for the motivation💯

[hyunchul]

Great video and great motivation!! Congratulation for your big accomplishment. I think we had really similar experiences. I also studied CPA exams right after graduation last year and got last score one month ago. Because I only have 120 credits hours, so I need to go back school fulfill extra 30 credits. I'll apply for internship next month hopefully get hired.

Thanks for the videos bro! I’m 27 and graduating this summer. I’ll be taking a similar approach. I’m will commit to studying for these exams! Thank you for the motivation. Diversity is a motivation for me too!

Loved the video! Thank you for sharing your experience of becoming a CPA and being one of the few black CPAs. As a biracial person, I agree that there needs to be more diversity in the CPA field, and I am glad you're raising awareness. This makes me more motivated to pass the CPA exam!

[malikmcgowan]

Thank you for this! I’m starting with EY in transaction diligence soon while starting to study for FAR (today haha)!! I also went to a predominantly white university and was president of our NABA chapter and just really excited for whats to come 😁

[TRUCKERTV]

Bro you killed it. 👏👏👏 You're so right, all my other classes, 40 to 50 students. Accounting is a small group about 10 to 15 students and half drop after the first or second exam lol

[kayladavis]

Thank you for this. Taking my first exam in 8 weeks.

[MsLemonade]

Thank you for this video!!! So motivational to keep pushing through! I take my first exam for the CPA (BEC) tomorrow!

[mosesdennis]

Congratulations Brother,
Thanks for sharing your stories.
I have given me hope, I had many doubts but your story has awaken me. Thanks a lot

[queenalicia]

Thank you for this. I take REG next week. 😬

[LoveLeeLisa]

Thank you for being a voice for us black & brown folks😊 Can you please have a CPA on that tested while raising kids? I'm working on my undergrad in accounting and once I graduate I will already have the credits to start studying and sitting for the CPA, but I have a very full plate already. I'm married with 2 kids and working full time plus I'm in my 30s. I'm crazy or a gluten for pain or both😫😆 I want it so bad, but it would be nice to see other moms who have went through the process and see how they did it. Either way I GREATLY appreciate you and your channel😊🙏🏽
