"Yanely is the master of the financial education bait and switch-she gently bamboozles you into thinking you're just reading engaging, hilarious, super-relatable stories, when secretly she's Trojan-horsing in all the money lessons you need. And because of that, Yanely's teachings stick. Mind Your Money feels like I'm chillin' on a couch talking life with my brilliant money bestie. Not only is this the money book I wish I had in my twenties, but it's the money book I'm going to hold onto until I'm gray and ashy; she reminds me that money can be an open, nonjudgmental, and fun learning space for all of us."

"Yanely is that friend we all wish we had when we started making money. The friend you could go to with all your questions because they would never shame or judge you. Reading Mind Your Money is like having Yanely right by your side while you navigate all the different challenges and opportunities created by money. Her personal story of overcoming poverty while living in one of the most affluent cities in the world shines a light on how much financial literacy can change a person's life."

- Delyanne Barrios, founder of Delyanne the Money Coach and host of CNN's Diversifying podcast

"Yanely brings kindness, compassion, and straightforward honesty to her writing. Her writing will make you actually laugh out loud at times. She shares her stories of someone who experienced the ups and downs of figuring out how to handle her financial life and lays out exactly how you can avoid some of the same mistakes (or recover if you've already had a misstep or two)."
