Financial Knowledge is very important in the life of every individual, and as International Students it is extremely important to know what you can and cannot do when it comes to your finances, using credit cards, and so much more.

We caught up with The Rich Immigrant, for the second part of our conversation, to learn a couple of tips on using credit cards effectively, saving and investing as an international student.

She is a 3-time immigrant, an executive at a large global firm, a recovering procrastinator, a travel blogger. We loved catching up with Dee because she shared so much financial nuggets you need to hear about.

From the Founder, "It was created to be what I wish existed when I moved to the United States 18 years ago, and it is what we need to thrive as a community of 1st and 2nd generation immigrants"

"The holiday season is not only for rejoicing but one of reflection"

On our final bonus episode for 2020, we decided to sit down with the founder of @soweheal , an instagram virtual community about mental wellness, and self worth for the WOC looking to heal and connect, Fatuma Dzilala(4th year Doctoral Student in Clinical Psychology)

As global students who relocate from our homes to create homes away from homes, the holidays tend to be lonely and depressing sometimes. We've been there before, so we wanted to have a candid conversation to help us breakdown some myths, and help provide tools for a better holiday season. 

We have a website now, L&SDistrict Family! Visit us at www.thelsdistrict.com
