Moneda Moves (94): Influencing a new era of financial education
What’s on tap for the weekend, mi gente?
For us, it’s eyes ahead on the next week when long-awaited Jon M. Chu, Quiara Alegría Hudes, and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “In the Heights” is set to debut in theaters on Thursday, June 10.
The plot in short: A bodega owner considers closing his store and retiring to the Dominican Republic after inheriting his grandmother's fortune. At least that’s the cliff-notes summary.
For us, this is symbolic. Symbolic of the return of movies, yes (just last weekend was the highest grossing for the movie theater box office since the start of the pandemic), but also return of a celebration of culture and being able to do so in a communal setting.

Influencing a new era of financial education💰: Did you learn something new during last year’s lockdown?
As it turns out, many were more interested than ever in their dinero. Whether it was on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, people were watching and so people from all communities saw the need and leaned into teaching.
Among them? Delyanne Barros, also known as “The Money Coach.” She was recently interviewed by journalist Brandon Gomez for Palabra, a digital publication by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
💰 Now in her late 30s, Delyanne has paid off a six-figure student loan and will have invested enough money to retire, as a millionaire, by age 45. But before that, she had to spend time on educating herself and years learning about how to achieve her own financial independence.
Today, she is a former attorney and quit her job to become a full-time entrepreneur. As a money coach, she owns a multi-six figure business.
“Latinos have had mistrust in the financial industry for a long time, with good reason,” she told National Association of Hispanic Journalist’s publication, Palabra. “Having somebody like them come into this space and start being transparent and meeting them where they are is what I think is causing people to flock to social media to find more information about personal finance.”
