I discovered Giovanna through LinkedIn I’ve kept a pulse on Latiné creators in different spaces and hadn’t really seen any in creating content around finance. So glad to have come stumbled across this important information and found the book on Amazon but will probably wait until it’s on audible since that’s how I consume my leisure reads usually.
