How To Navigate Your Finances As An Immigrant | Oyifijeh Aadum of Immigrants Thrive

Episode 75 is all about how to navigate your finances as an immigrant or someone who is completely unfamiliar to the world of personal finance.

Oyifijeh Aadum is founder of Immigrants Thrive, a financial education platform that serves immigrants to North America by empowering them with the knowledge, tools and resources they need to save more, pay off their debt, build wealth in a sustainable way and give back to their communities.

A native of Nigeria, she worked in the international financial industry for over 8 years, and soon realized that many financial professionals are just selling products, rather than educating their clients.

She uses her platform to provide the financial education needed to traverse the complicated world of finance and investment in North America. She also has a weekly podcast, Thrive With Fijeh, where she answers most pressing money and business questions from her community.

Episode 75 Highlights:

• The “catch up” that immigrants have to play in their new host country
• The power of knowledge
• The overwhelming project that is learning about finance
• Feeling undeserving of a set of information
• How to start your learning journey
