Leo Aquino, of Queer and Trans Wealth, joins us to rethink personal finances, debt and wealth creation through an anti-capitalist lens. Leo, who got their start as a sex and pleasure writer, began writing about the trauma of credit card and student loan debt. Since Leo has become a financial coach and offers services that specifically target queer and trans clients. Leo shares his past/present/future approach to financial planning and budgeting, how to stay regulated enough to make financial decisions or deal with debt, and ways to reduce harm with your personal spending. Robin ends the episode with a “might make you mad” segment on maternal mortality rates in the US.
Leo Aquino (he/they) is a poet, screenwriter, financial coach, and award-winning journalist covering anti-capitalist personal finance. Leo is also the founder of Queer & Trans Wealth, an organization dedicated to the financial education, economic empowerment, and collective liberation of queer & trans communities.
