How to reconcile the fact that while your immigrant parents want you to be financially safe and secure, their advice doesn’t speak to your ambitions or search for happiness? Financial planner Anna N’Jie Konte is our guest. She is the founder of Dare to Dream Financial Planning: a fee-only, virtual financial planning firm that serves the needs of 30/40 something women of color who want to live boldly and make a lasting impact on their family tree.

Konte is also the host of the “First-Gen Realness” podcast. There, she engages in conversations with her fellow first-generation Americans in order to reinforce their value and immense contributions to the fabric of America.
