Why is Tori Dunlap the TikTok Money Queen?

How did Tori Dunlap start Her First $100k
Tori started her first business when she was only nine years old, which involved running an organized network of vending machines. With a knack for entrepreneurship, she ventured into digital marketing after graduating with two degrees (a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Theater).
Then, at just 22 years of age, Tori started the company Her First $100k on the sidelines, with a goal to reach her first $100,000 in three years. She later left her job and accomplished her goal at age 25.

Followingly, armed with a mission to "fight the patriarchy," she realized that it would not be possible to achieve financial equality if she didn't pass on her knowledge; this inspired her to start sharing on social media.

"Without financial education, financial freedom can never be attained. And without financial freedom and economic equality, women will always lack true equality," she noted on her blog. Tori now embraces her role in empowering women, helping them fight the patriarchy by making them rich.
