Bringing Home the Dinero with “Latina Money” Janet Cruz Padrón

If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a family (nation). — African Proverb

Educating women is more than just transforming the life of an individual. When you educate a woman, it’s a ripple effect, their families, communities, and even the nation is benefited.

As we go on to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month, in this episode, I’m bringing in the Latina generational financial curse breaker, Janet Cruz Padrón, who’s helping women to reach their full potential through financial education and empowerment!
