Episode 27 is all about creating your personal brand to increase your income.

Did you know that personal branding can help you recession-proof your career and your finances? Developing your personal brand is so crucial for your wealth-building journey, especially as a Latina. Often, the Cultura promotes the Calladita Te Ves Mas Bonita, and we shy away from celebrating our success. If you want to earn more money in a 9-5 and as an entrepreneur, developing your personal brand is just another ingredient to your wealth-building journey.

Meet Luzy
Luzy King is an award-winning Latina Wealth Coach. She became a first-gen investor after learning about investing and wealth building by accident through her MBA program in 2019. During the same year, Luzy was denied access to financial advice because she didn’t have $100K to start investing, and she made a commitment to learn things on her own and become the first one in her family to start investing. Now she is passionate about teaching women of color all of the strategies she wishes someone would have taught her in school. Luzy is a certified trauma-informed Financial & Business Coach, contributing author, and Community Leader. Luzy is on a mission to destigmatize the idea of wanting more money, more money more options. She is ready to teach women of color how to build a legacy through stock market investing and entrepreneurship.
