September 3, 2020 at 9:14 am EDT by Joshua Holt

Time Magazine: “TikTok isn’t just about dance challenges and viral memes—you might pick up some financial advice, too.”

“Delyanne Barros, 37, who goes by @DelyanneTheMoneyCoach, began posting about debt payoff, investing and financial independence on TikTok in February 2020. Barros, an employment attorney by day, first began sharing her personal financial journey on Instagram, which evolved into a side business coaching others to do the same. She says her primary focus on TikTok is driving awareness.”
