NEW YORK - s4story -- Financial security can mean the difference between building a lasting future and losing everything when the unexpected happens. Yet for many immigrant and underserved families, understanding life insurance, retirement planning, and wealth preservation remains an overwhelming challenge. Bilha Wachira is determined to change that.

The founder and CEO of 254 Financial Group in Washington joins nationally recognized retirement expert, author, and television host Tom Hegna on Moving America Forward, airing nationally on CNBC November 22 at 7:30 AM ET. In this compelling interview, Wachira shares her extraordinary journey from selling life insurance door-to-door in Africa to achieving the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Top of the Table distinction.

Her success is built on a mission that goes far beyond selling insurance. Having experienced firsthand the challenges of immigrant life, Wachira recognized how many families sacrifice their financial security to support relatives overseas while neglecting their own protection, and retirement needs.

Wachira built her practice around making complex financial concepts understandable and accessible, particularly for African immigrant communities. Her approach starts with essential financial protection, including life insurance and living benefits that can provide financial resources during qualifying critical, chronic, or terminal illnesses. She then helps families navigate retirement strategies, tax mitigation, and estate planning.

With more than 3,000 policies written, Wachira has seen the life-changing impact of proper financial protection. During her conversation with Hegna, she shares the powerful story of a client whose cancer diagnosis resulted in a living benefits claim, illustrating why life insurance can provide protection while someone is still alive.

But her vision extends beyond her own business. As a Top of the Table qualifier, a distinction representing six times the production required for MDRT membership, Wachira has mentored more than 50 financial professionals. She is also working toward establishing a Financial Leadership Academy in Washington to equip the next generation of advisors with the networking, and community-building skills needed to succeed.

In her conversation with Tom Hegna, Wachira challenges the misconception that financial planning is only for the wealthy. Her message is clear: families at every income level need a plan, financial education must come first, and protecting tomorrow begins with decisions made today.

Through her commitment to financial literacy, professional mentorship, and underserved communities, Wachira is demonstrating how one person's mission can create a lasting impact across America.
