Tune into this empowering episode of "JEFA Mode Live" where host Rocio von Nierop shares a previous conversation with the CEO of a Latina-Led Fintech Company, Beatriz Acevedo, CEO of SUMA Wealth.
In this engaging episode of "Cafecito with Beatriz Acevedo," Rocio van Nierop sits down with the remarkable Beatriz Acevedo, a true Jefa who embarked on a transformative journey from her hometown in Tijuana to San Diego in her 20s, all in pursuit of education. Beatriz, a three-time Emmy award winner and recipient of an MTV award, shares her inspiring story of motivation over frustration when she noticed that Latino representation was seemingly stuck at 1%. Beatriz is passionate about helping Latinos harness their economic power. She humorously quips, "401 que?" and discusses the dearth of fintech options tailored to the Latino community due to a lack of trust. She shares anecdotes of her father's cash-stuffed jackets, a result of past experiences with unreliable banks and governments.
Beatriz's current venture, SUMA Wealth, is dedicated to empowering our community to build wealth. With unwavering determination, she embarked on a mission to shatter that glass ceiling and empower the next generation.
