About Me
Hi, there! I’m Zandile aka Za Knows, thee self-proclaimed “budget warrior”, personal finance journalist and financial wellness educator. I channel my financial savvy and apt for writing into a clear but thundering call to action: Get your mindset and your money right. In just a few years, I’ve proven myself a force within the industry, earning features on popular personal finance podcasts while gaining recognition for my work to highlight the connections between money and mental health. Though I’m committed to empowering newcomers to Canada with the tools they need to make sound financial decisions, my overarching message is for everyone: No matter your circumstances, financial wealth and wellness are attainable.
What I Do
By day, I’m a personal finance journalist where my articles touch on all things money, including real estate, mortgages, insurance, interest rates, credit cards and most recently, tips on how to shelter one’s funds from the COVID-19 storm.
I’m also a financial wellness educator. My words have appeared in the Globe and Mail, Young and Thrifty, Refinery 29 and Best Health Magazine. Through my work, I have earned exclusive features on popular personal finance podcasts, including ‘More Money with Jessica Moorhouse, Freelance Canada and CBC Radio.
When I’m not in the newsroom, you can find my candid and honest takes on money management on social media under the pseudonym “Za Knows” where I freely dish small but impactful lifestyle hacks that can help improve my followers’ financial health.
