BEATRIZ'S BIO Beatriz sometimes wears a black t-shirt with two simple words - “La Jefa”, en ingles, The Boss. And that, she has been, and continues to be as a serial founder, CEO, trailblazing, Emmy-winning remarkable woman. In her words: “In my life journey, I've always strived not just for personal achievements but to reshape narratives and champion the next generation of Latino leaders.” She has done just that. Her career began in Mexico, as an 8 year old (yes 8!) radio announcer. Beatriz moved to the U.S. in her early 20s, by then she had won 3 Emmy and an MTV award. She has started several companies, including MiTu and her current venture Suma Wealth - collectively raising over $55 million for the ventures she has led and founded, one focused on media & entertainment representation, the other on economic empowerment - but they are in fact intertwined. Very few people raise any money for their ventures, let alone tens of millions, and as a Latina she is one of a handful. She is a regular contributor on NBC News, Forbes, Fast Company, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times where she talks about representation, capital access, entrepreneurship, Latinos and the American economy. Beatriz has also appeared on Guy Raz's “How I Built This”, Eva Longoria's Connections Podcast, and LinkedIn News “Hello Monday”. She currently serves on the boards of Beneficial State Bank, the Latino Community Foundation, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Committee among others . She also leads the Acevedo Foundation, initiated by her father in Mexico three decades ago, now focuses on education, representation, economic empowerment, and enabling access to capital for emerging Latino entrepreneurs and leaders. SUMA Wealth, where she serves as CEO & Co-founder, is attempting to seize on a $182B opportunity – young U.S. Latinos through a fintech platform that expertly combines financial tools with culturally relevant financial education. This unique, community-driven approach has paved the way for collaborations with the largest financial institutions in the world and has about 1 million users.

Ashley K. Stoyanov Ojeda is expert at helping people launch themselves into their endeavors whether it's music, a career or founding and growing a company. Her journey to coaching entrepreneurs has been anything but traditional, yet wholly authentic — and that's her superpower. Through building community for the music industry, and then learning about how to help others do the same, she became fondly known as the “Business Hada Madrina” or Business Fairy Godmother. Today, she is a business-development strategist, coach, and author of the newly-debuted book, Jefa In Training, a guidebook to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Ashley's career started in the music industry in 2012, and after working at major record labels, created her own network for local womxn songwriters, now a national organization that has been featured in The Recording Academy, called #WomxnCrush Music. Since the growth of her organization, she has dedicated her career to developing businesses and communities of underrepresented entrepreneurs through her coaching. Her book has received praise from the likes of Eva Longoria, We Are All Human's Claudia Romo Edelman and SUMA Wealth's Beatriz Acevedo. We speak with Ashley today about her path to entrepreneurship and actionable tips for Latina entrepreneurs. Without further ado, here's the jefa in charge.

Beatriz Acevedo began her career as a TV host with a prime time show on Televisa. She later pivoted to run her own tech media company, Mitú. An early financial scare made a deep impression though, and during the pandemic Beatriz launched a new venture with a massive social goal in mind: she wants to help the LatinX community build wealth. In this conversation with Jessi Hempel, she talks about her own experience with money. And she explains how her new company, Suma Wealth, plans to arm the LatinX community with economic power.
Economic research has shown that among Americans, Latinos spend the most, but save and invest the least as demographic. Beatriz Acevedo has set out to change that. During the pandemic, she co-founded SUMA Wealth with the mission of helping close the Latino wealth gap via youth-focused, pop culture–inspired financial content and fintech tools. In this episode, Beatriz sits down with her friend, Alice Rodriguez, head of community impact at JPMorgan Chase & Co., to discuss the venture, her motivation, and her goals. Motivation from her border roots Beatriz describes herself as “a very proud border girl, an immigrant entrepreneur.” Born to parents who lived in San Diego but purposefully moved across the border for their daughter to be born a Mexican citizen, Beatriz describes her father as “the classic Latino man who came from absolutely nothing.” A proponent of hard work and education, he became an attorney and started a philanthropic foundation 30 years ago. “Every cent he made in his career, he put it back into the foundation for educational opportunities for our community,” she notes. Beatriz shared that her parents' work and philanthropic focus profoundly shaped her motivations. “I've always felt like I am one of those Latina outliers that was able to have opportunities from a young age,” she tells Alice. “It doesn't mean I didn't work hard for them, but we know in our community, there are so many deserving Latinos and Latinas that worked so hard and are still not given the opportunities, whether it's capital, whether it's boards, whether it's advancement on a job. So I want to spend as much time as I possibly can every day opening as many doors as I possibly can for my community.” Ethos of a brand Alice describes how the demographic discrepancies in the economic impact of the pandemic inspired her to move forward with SUMA Wealth. Alice was an established philanthropist and a leader in digital media and brings a focus on the Latino point of view to multiple mainstream entertainment platforms, but she recognized that Latinos were being hit the hardest by both health and economic measures during the pandemic. “We had the least amount of emergency savings [and] were not equipped for something like this to happen in our families,” she says. Beatriz knew she could help reverse that trend. Despite the fact that her background was in media, entertainment and marketing—not finance—she co-founded SUMA Wealth at the height of the pandemic. Knowing that younger Latinos are the fastest-growing demographic spurred Beatriz to focus SUMA on them. “These are U.S.-born kids who are English dominant, consume the content in English, but they're still untrustworthy of certain financial institutions because they just don't know, they want to learn more, and they want to have that trust,” she explains. “And I thought, now's a really incredible opportunity to build a brand and a community that really speaks to them in culture, more than in language.” Beatriz explains that with SUMA, her goal is to empower the Latino community by building trust around tools and services that are already available to them. Adding the in-culture media context ensured its success: In its first ten months, SUMA surpassed all of its growth metrics. Looking ahead One key message that Beatriz strives to share with the Latino community is that when it comes to improving your finances or financial literacy, it's never too early and it's never too late. “A big goal that we have at SUMA is to really empower our community with so many tools and services that are already available to them, but to have the trust,” she says. “And I think doing it through the youth, through the millennials, through the gen Z's and the families and the communities, is a really smart way to do it because they are the big influencers and an ROI through one of them is never one-to-one, it's always one-to-many. So I think that's how we need to think about really scaling this information into our community.” This month SUMA is launching a free financial check-up tool where people can track how they are doing on saving, paying off debt, investing, and other financial indicators. “I would love to see that growth in our community of feeling comfortable, not just being the biggest spenders,” she tells Alice. “I would love to change that data from the biggest spenders to the biggest savers and investors. I would feel incredibly satisfied with that as part of my legacy.”

Latinos en los EE.UU. representan muchísimo más que el 3% que se ve en cine y televisión estadounidenses. Un 3% que la mayoría de las ocasiones representa a latinos en una luz estereotipada y desfavorable. Por esta razón, varias personalidades y organizaciones en la industria, junto al alcalde de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles han lanzado una buenísima iniciativa: LA Collab, para tratar de amplificar la representación latina en Hollywood. Una de sus fundadores, Beatriz Acevedo, nos cuenta todo sobre LA Collab y la importantísima labor que realiza.
Eva Longoria Bastón and Zoe Saldana discuss the 60 million strong and growing Latino demographic, and why this demographic matters in entertainment, politics, and the workforce. They discuss Zoe's startup Bese, and why she wanted to create more content for underrepresented people; how culture can impact public policy; the Eva Longoria Foundation and her work creating the next generation workforce; and why it's literally and figuratively important for technology to have diverse voices around the table.
