Rebeca Valencia

Rebeca Valencia currently lives in the Twin Cities and is a proud daughter of immigrants. As a daughter of immigrants and DACA recipient from Tamaulipas, Mexico, Rebeca continues to be an advocate for her family and all families displaced by harmful policies and injustices of xenophobia, racism, ableism and ultimately white supremacy. While navigating the immigration system for her community, Rebeca recognized the multitude of challenges families are faced with, one in particular was the lack of financial education in immigrant communities. This led to her completing a Bachelor of Arts in Finance from Bethel University. Inspired by her community, Rebeca hopes to continue her understanding of justice and equity to empower all immigrant communities to have more agency and personal sovereignty over their finances.
