First Gen Friends Season 2 Premiere introducing Danica, a first generation Jamaican Canadian living her best life doing the absolute most! She shares her story about growing up in Toronto, her inspiration to travel the world and how she creates content to inspire people in the financial and travel space. Danica is definitely someone to watch as she's doing incredible things with her platform and it's only the beginning.

In this episode, I sit down with Oliver, a Dominican who came to the US with his family as a child. We discuss what it was like for him feeling different in his own community and how he negotiated for life changing money at 24 years old. While not technically a first generation American, he still felt the responsibility and pressures growing up in a world where resources and money were scarce. Today, he is, in my opinion a true success story. 

In this episode, I sit down with first generation Mexican American Sophia, founder and creator of Corporate Pero Latinos. We discuss what success looks like to our parents and how we've decided to change that narrative for ourselves. Sophia also shares how Corporate Pero Latinos has made a huge impact in the New York City Latino community and how she plans to take it to the next level! 

In this episode, I sit down with (my ex boss) Jess who is a First Gen Latina from Colombia. She talks about her parents and their adoption journey to get her to America and what it was like growing up with mentors from all different walks of life. Jess shares the importance of influence and mentorship and how it helped her hard working entrepreneurial parents achieve their American Dream.

In this episode I interview Jen, a Puerto Rican Italian, born and raised in New York. We discuss everything from getting into corporate America, childhood traumas thanks to her mom, the psychology of money, imposter syndrome and how a random 2am late night in Atlantic City landed her a job right after college. You guys asked for longer episodes, so here you have it! 

This episode starts with a little Latin vs Spanish education from a good friend of mine and I tell the story about how I started my twelve year stunt as a waitress. When I was 13 years old in 8th grade, I was so excited to get my working papers and the rest, as they say, is history!
