A Chicago Illinois native, Serria Rego grew up understanding that hard work didn't lead to wealth. She chose finance as a major when confronted with the expense of medical school. She simply wanted to work where there was unlimited financial opportunity sans an extra 5 years of education. Serria considers herself to be lucky to not only have the finance degree, which is rare for women and people of color, but also to have worked for several different firms.
She shares her insight on a very important topic of making the connection between racism and wealth.
