Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves.   This week's guest, Giovanna “Gigi” Gonzalez, teaches financial literacy and career readiness to first-generation Latinas. Through educational workshops and her TikTok account (@thefirstgenmentor), she's built a community of over 195,000+. She holds a BA in Economics, a certificate in investment performance measurement, and 10 years of experience in financial services.
Here's a bit more about her...in her own words..."As a first-gen Latina myself, I’ve experienced the discomfort and overwhelm that comes from attempting to manage, invest, and grow my income as the first in the family to enter these spaces. I’ve experienced reaching the level of success my family dreamed of me and having the desire to give back and uplift the same people who sacrificed so much to help get me here. I remember how it felt to be lost and want guidance on how to support my loved ones and while planning my financial future and not find it. I set out to change that by paving the way for those who come behind me through guidance, mentorship, and financial education."
