Jannese Torres is an award-winning Latina Money Expert. She became an accidental entrepreneur after a job loss inspired her to turn her food blog into a six-figure business. Throughout the years, her passion for entrepreneurship led her to notice a gap in the conversation around money. Inspired by the J. Lo & Cardi B song, “Dinero”, in 2019, she decided to start teaching marginalized communities on topics like entrepreneurship, investing, and financial independence through her 5X award-winning personal finance podcast & platform, “Yo Quiero Dinero.”
Jannese is an expert in the areas of digital entrepreneurship, content creation, financial independence, creating multiple income streams and passive income.
