I want to build things where people feel that they belong. And if you think about Mitú and Suma, even though it wasn’t my experience growing up, I want to make sure that my kids are those kids [who feel like they belong]. My kids are U.S.-born. They speak perfect Spanish, but they speak perfect English. They’re proud to be Latinos. They’re proud to be American. They’re proud to be Jewish. There’s so much in their identity that they’re proud of, that I absolutely love, and I worked very hard for them to feel that way. So, I want to do the same for every other young person in America. I want them to feel that they belong, whether it’s in media or the money conversation. They deserve to build wealth, and they belong here.

Being a Latina is my superpower. I never feel less. I don’t feel small. I don’t feel inadequate. I see that there’s nobody there like me and I get to represent. And I come in and I take a lot of space. I come in with my embroidered shirts, my big hoops, and I speak with my hands. I’m loud, I’m passionate. I am unapologetically Latina, and that has helped me.
