Latina Financial Education, Investing & Wealth Building: MoneyChisme
MoneyChisme is a personal finance podcast for women of color ready to take control of their money, build wealth, and create financial independence.
Join Violeta Sandoval, a first-generation Latina investor and entrepreneur, for honest conversations about money management, investing for beginners, paying off debt, growing your income, and starting a business. Get practical strategies to build generational wealth—even if you’re the first in your family figuring this out.
We talk about the money questions you’ve been afraid to ask and the cultural expectations that can make building wealth complicated: supporting family, feeling guilty for wanting more, and learning financial lessons nobody taught you.
Through relatable stories, expert interviews, and candid hot takes, MoneyChisme makes financial education approachable and connects your money decisions to what matters: freedom, family, and community.
The mission? Help close the racial wealth gap and give more women of color the tools to build wealth on their own terms.
Subscribe to MoneyChisme for personal finance tips, real-life money conversations, and a little chisme. Let’s grow your money, buy back your time, and rewrite your family’s money story.
