Build Wealth With Me
Empower Your Finances
FILatinx was created with a simple mission:
to help Latino and first-generation families build wealth, confidence, and financial freedom — one clear, honest lesson at a time.
I’m Dr. Katherine Minaya (“Kat”) — a pediatrician, writer, and Dominican immigrant who grew up in a community where money was often a source of stress, confusion, and silence. I know what it’s like to navigate college, career, and adulthood without a roadmap. So I built the resource I wish I had years ago.
FILatinx combines practical financial education with cultural context.
No jargon. No shame. No gatekeeping.
Here, you’ll find:
-
Investment basics explained simply
-
Credit-building strategies
-
Budgeting tools that actually work for real families
-
Debt management and repayment guides
-
Step-by-step help with benefits, tax-advantaged accounts, and credit cards
-
Personal stories from a first-gen Latina perspective
My goal is to make financial literacy accessible, relatable, and empowering — especially for communities that have historically been underserved or left out of mainstream financial conversations.
Whether you're rebuilding after a setback, planning your future, or learning about money for the first time, you’re in the right place.
Bienvenidx.
Let’s build wealth together — one choice, one habit, one lesson at a time.
