ABOUT ME
Hola,
I am
Violeta,
Like so many first-gen immigrants, I grew up figuring everything out the hard way, especially when it came to money! The books I read and the videos I watched didn’t have anyone who looked like me, and let’s be real, our Latino culture views money a little differently.
I saw how far behind we are when it comes to closing the racial wealth gap, and I knew real estate investing and entrepreneurship were the keys to changing that. That’s why I created MoneyChisme Ⓡ—a platform to empower first-gen Latinos and POC with personal finance tips, real estate investing tips and entrepreneurship tips. No guilt, no greed, just empathy and real change to build our wealth and communities!
