What they said on that stage.
TEDxUCSanDiego
Drawing from personal experience and her journey from escaping poverty to achieving many of her financial goals, Tanya sheds light on how quickly one can go from feeling like they are on solid financial ground to having the rug pulled from under them due to a sudden disability. Tanya approaches the conversation by sharing a few practical action steps that we can take to protect ourselves and our families, ultimately setting ourselves up to be financially secure. With over two decades helping people improve their financial lives, Tanya Taylor is on a mission to stop the cycle of poverty and build generational wealth. She is an award-winning author, and the founder and CEO of Grow Your Wealth, a financial education platform which empowers women to overcome financial barriers and build wealth, by meeting them exactly where they are. Tanya infuses her knowledge from learning and teaching about building wealth with her 24 years on Wall Street in the banking and insurance industries.
She has been featured in publications such as Business Insider and Black Enterprise, sharing her story from an undocumented immigrant as an impoverished Jamaican traveling to the U.S. alone at 16 to capitalizing on the opportunity to build wealth and changing the trajectory of her and her family’s lives. Tanya’s core belief relies on the balance of wealth building and personal goals, in which she continues to jet-set the world with more than 60 countries visited. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
