Episode 16: Advice about Personal Finance for Immigrants!
Adina became passionate about helping immigrants develop financial stability after personally experiencing the challenges and frustrations of navigating the U.S. financial system with her husband who is an immigrant. When he immigrated to the U.S., it was terrifying for them to try to figure out basic personal finance steps on their own. They didn’t know if he could have a bank account or credit card with his visa. Or what would happen if he lost his visa and ability to work. Could he have a mortgage or health insurance as an immigrant? What taxes did he need to pay? There were no books or websites available to figure out the answers to any of these questions. They were overwhelmed, scared, and felt alone. They had to figure it all out on their own, but they don’t want you to struggle like they did. Immigrant Finance School is exactly what they wish they had during this time – a community for learning and support on personal finance for immigrants, and a place to learn about this topic.
As an immigration lawyer, Adina was also inspired to create Immigrant Finance after representing and working with hundreds of immigrant and refugees in Egypt, Ecuador, the U.S.-Mexico border, and the Washington, D.C. region, many who face detention and deportation. She has seen how people’s lives could change from access to personal finance information and the empowerment, options, and control that financial stability can provide for immigrants and their families.

Episode 4: Consejitos de Consejeras, how to Navigate College and Graduate Successfully!
We know this an especially difficult time for college students as they enter an unknown economy and job market. As graduates of the class of 2009 and a recession underway, we can totally understand and relate to the anxiety and stress students are feeling today. In this episode we invited our incredible amiga, Deisy Escobedo, a fellow Academic Advisor at University of California, Riverside (similar to our host Elvia), to talk about all things college life and graduation especially for Latinx & 1st gen students. She earned her B.A. in Psychology/Law & Society from UC Riverside and her M.S. in Educational Counseling from CSU San Bernardino all while working in various student affairs settings. She firmly believes in finding innovative ways to best support students as they work towards their educational goals.
In this episode we offer not one but two incredible Academic Advisor perspectives from Deisy & Elvia. We unpack our own college journey's and lessons learned and provide insights on how to navigate your college journey, learn how to leverage resources and academic advisors, how to deal with imposter syndrome, peer pressure, student loans and finances, anxiety around decision making, and especially how to navigate the current COVID19 climate as remote students and specifically those that are graduating this year. Amigas, we cover it all and provide some really great tips and advice to help reassure students that you got this. Remember to stay proactive and as Deisy says, “Todo tiene solucion, menos la muerte, no pasa nada, everything is figureoutable".
