K. Alexandra Escobar

Financial Literacy Advocate & Founder of The Dark Horse Rising

Growing up in an underserved community, lacking financial literacy, making poor financial decisions, and having to overcome those challenges; I wanted to create a platform that helped others avoid the same struggles that many do but very few talk about. The platform solves a problem that our current educational system does not prioritize and this has dismantled the financial stability of so many communities (primarily underserved, minority communities) causing scarcity in generation after generation. This is the beginning of a much larger movement and I am proud to be at the forefront of it.
