Elevating La Cultura Podcast
Welcome to Elevating la Cultura Podcast®.
A space where I talk with Latinas who are passionate about what they do and are willing to share that passion with others to change the narrative especially for the next generation. Each season is centered around different topics but all with the Latina perspective. Welcome to season 11 where I’m talking all things finance. I’m so excited to share these powerful conversations, SO vamonos, and lets get into it.
