How First-Generation Latinas Use Education to Build Generational Wealth
In this episode of The Say Hola Wealth Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Cristina Rodriguez—educator, advocate, and founder of Latinas with Masters—to talk about what it really takes to build wealth as a first-generation Latina.
Cristina shares her journey from being the daughter of Nicaraguan immigrants to earning her doctorate, all while navigating higher education systems that were not designed for us. This conversation goes beyond degrees and titles—it’s about using education as a tool for empowerment, advocacy, and long-term wealth building.
Together, we unpack the realities of being the only Latina in the room, the importance of community in higher education, and why knowledge is one of the most powerful assets we can pass down to future generations. Cristina also shares how her work in housing and student support has shaped her understanding of financial stability and what it truly means to build generational wealth.
This episode is a powerful reminder that wealth is not just about money—it’s about access, awareness, and the courage to use your voice.
