The Cost of Living in White Space (January 2023)

Today, in honor of Latino Heritage Month, we're revisiting one of my all-time favorite episodes. The episode was first released in January 2023. I chat with Carmen Rita Wong, a true superstar, in this episode. Carmen's done it all – she's been a journalist, a businesswoman, and a financial expert. She's worked with big names like CNN, CBS, and NBC and written for magazines like Glamour and Good Housekeeping. She's even written five books, including her latest memoir, 'Why Didn’t You Tell Me?' Trust me, this episode is packed with incredible stories and wisdom. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this Immigrantly gem. And hey, if you like what you hear, please rate and review us.
