Welcome, in today's episode, we had the pleasure of hosting Jannese Torres from Yo Quiero Dinero.
Jannese Torres, the brilliant mind behind Finnacially Lit, joined us to share her inspiring journey. Growing up in an immigrant household, she experienced firsthand how money conversations were often nonexistent. In many Latino families, financial education takes a back seat as the focus remains on day-to-day survival. Despite being the largest minority group in the United States, the Latino community continues to grapple with cultural and systemic barriers hindering wealth accumulation.
As a first-generation Latina, Jannese Torres understands these challenges intimately. She pursued the conventional American Dream, becoming the first woman in her family to earn a college degree, climb the corporate ladder, and secure a six-figure paycheck. However, despite achieving societal markers of success, Torres found herself discontent and unfulfilled. It became evident that the conventional notions of money and success were misleading.
Driven by a desire for genuine fulfillment and autonomy, Torres embarked on a journey to redefine wealth on her own terms. She courageously veered away from the prescribed path, embracing entrepreneurship and seeking financial freedom.
Join us as Jannese Torres shares her insights, experiences, and the invaluable lessons she's learned along the way. Get ready to be inspired to pave your own path toward financial literacy and empowerment.
