Giovanna Gonzalez was the first in her family to graduate college and work a white-collar job. When she sought guidance on how to pay off student loans, all she found was a bunch of white people talking about “windfalls.” So now she’s the one teaching first-generation folks how to set boundaries with their families and become financial experts along the way. She joined us to give advice on paying back loans (God help us) and talking to our family about money (GOD HELP US).
