The Rich Immigrant
When you hear the word immigrant, the word rich doesn’t always come to mind. Immigrants can attain financial independence; we can lead full lives in our new homes while maintaining our identities.Each Wednesday, join Dee Olateru, a 3-time immigrant, and your everyday aspiring rich immigrant, as she shares tips, and stories to help immigrants do just that. The Rich immigrant podcast was created to be what the next immigrant needs to thrive and what we need as a community of 1st and 2nd generation immigrants.If you’re a first or 2nd generation immigrant, or just want great but relatable money and life conversations, this is the podcast for you!
