"Money has always been something that you struggle with, right? I always say, money wasn’t something that we managed in our home. It was something we didn’t have, right? When we talked about money, it was always for my deprivation on place. It was always about how do we get more? How do we hustle with what we have?” Our guest today is Ramona Ortega, Founder and CEO of My Money My Future, Mi Dinero Mi Futuro. It's a mission-driven financial technology company that empowers Latinas to manage their money with confidence and the company creates culturally-relevant financial content that connects their audience to curated financial products. One of the most important aspects of personal finance is that it's personal. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach and that's especially true when it comes to teaching different communities and cultures about personal finance. Ramona is making waves in the world of personal finance, by helping the Latino community gain access to important financial education. She built the company as a solution to an overarching problem in our community, which is the fact that the community doesn't have access to quality and trustworthy financial advice. Through her grit and determination, she built the company step-by-step fundraising, applying to accelerators, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way. Ramona and I talked about as you just heard, her childhood, growing up poor, her role as a single mother and entrepreneur. How does she do it all? Tune in. Learn more about your ad choices.
