About ME

Visionary. Powerhouse. Trailblazer.

Welcome to my world, where cultura meets empowerment and impact drives every move.

I’m Lea Landaverde—a queer, first-gen Latina, creator, public speaker, founder, and thought leader committed to breaking barriers and building legacies. Through storytelling, education, and advocacy, I’m here to empower our comunidad to reimagine what’s possible and reclaim the narrative around money, wealth, and power.

IMPACT AND INFLUENCE

  • With a decade of expertise in finance and education, I’ve built a career rooted in creating impact. As an Ex-Goldman Sachs professional, I’ve navigated the high-stakes worlds of wealth management, technology and investment banking, using my knowledge to serve diverse communities. With a Master’s in Finance, I’ve transitioned my focus to education and activism, empowering others to build wealth and reclaim financial power.

  • I’ve cultivated a loyal and growing community of over 120,000 followers across social platforms. I was recognized as 2023 Debt.com Best Fintok Creator. Through relatable content and real talk, I’m breaking down financial barriers and inspiring first-gen and underserved communities to take control of their money and build generational wealth.

  • As the founder of Riqueza Collective, I’ve created a movement dedicated to financial education and empowerment for first-gen, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities. The platform blends activism, community, and resources to challenge systemic inequities and promote wealth-building for all.

  • As a transformational educator, I’ve been recognized as Best Professor in 2021, for my work teaching financial literacy to incarcerated youth. My culturally aware and accessible approach ensures underserved communities have the tools they need to thrive.

  • Being named a Hispanic Executive 30 Under 30 in 2024, is an honor that celebrates my commitment to empowering the next generation of changemakers. This recognition reflects my dedication to redefining what’s possible for nuestra comunidad.
