Financially Lit!
The Modern Latina’s Guide to Level Up Your Dinero & Become Financially Poderosa
By Jannese Torres | Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
About the book
Build financial literacy, improve your money management skills, and make the dinero work for you with the help of an award-winning Latina Money Expert.
In many immigrant households, money isn’t often a topic of discussion, so financial education can be minimal—especially when a family is just trying to survive the day-to-day. The Latino community still faces cultural and systemic barriers that prevent them from building wealth. As a first-generation Latina, Jannese Torres knows these unique challenges well. She set out to pursue the traditional American Dream, becoming the first woman in her family to graduate from college, climb the corporate ladder, and secure a six-figure paycheck, only to find herself miserable and unfulfilled.
She soon realized that everything she’d been taught about money and success wasn’t as it seemed. After discovering the true meaning of wealth, Torres resolved to pave her own path, leaving the life she was told she should want for one of entrepreneurship and autonomy.
In Financially Lit! Torres offers you culturally relevant and relatable personal finance advice that will allow you to finally feel seen, heard, and understood. With the warmth and the no-nonsense wisdom of someone who’s been there before, Torres will teach you how to:
- set boundaries with your dinero
- protect yourself from financial abuse
- navigate the complicated relationship between amor and money
- invest like a white dude
With Financially Lit! at your side, you’ll harness the powerful ways money can be used to create the life of your dreams, and empower you to step into financial freedom.\"
