Building wealth, one conversation at a time
LatinosBuild
April 04, 2025
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Thrive Legacy Dinner, an intimate and intentional gathering sponsored by the Nasdaq Foundation and led by Ramona Ortega, founder of WealthBuild.ai. Held in Houston, the dinner created space for something we, as Latinos, don’t talk about nearly enough: money.
What stood out most were the people. Two sisters ready to start the conversation about building generational wealth. Local business owners sharing real experiences. And demonstrating the power of collaboration, Jesse Martinez of Latino Startup Alliance worked closely with the team.
The event was also a celebration of Latino-owned businesses. From the venue—Las Perras Café and Roastery, a bold new space opening this month—to the food by Flor Y Miel, and vendors including GiGis Boutique, everything was curated with intention and love for our culture.
We need more spaces like this—where money talk isn’t taboo, and community wealth is a shared goal. If you're building something similar or just starting to think about it, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s keep the conversation going:
