Is your business making money or just moving money?
In this episode of The Brown Way to Money, Alejandra Rojas sits down with Joyce Medeiros, founder of Investrio, to unpack one of the most silent but dangerous blocks solopreneurs face: not understanding how their business really operates financially. Joyce shares the behind-the-scenes of building a trauma-informed, automated bookkeeping tool designed for us by us, while Alejandra frames the financial blind spots many women of color entrepreneurs carry as trauma responses. Together, they explore how financial systems aren’t just about numbers—they’re tools of liberation, sustainability, and clarity.
