Why Not Me? Financial Freedom on Your Own Terms
Linda Ta Yonemoto, a personal finance educator and creator, shares how growing up as the daughter of Vietnamese refugees shaped her relationship with money, voice, and ambition. She discusses the emotional weight of being first-gen—navigating silence around money, breaking out of survival mode, and unlearning the belief that financial success was only for “other people.”
Today, she’s the founder of Good For You Money, a platform dedicated to helping first-gen women and people from underrepresented backgrounds build wealth and confidence through relatable, culturally-aware financial education.
