In addition to our weekly guests, be sure to check out the special Hispanic Voices collection in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month at LeadWithYourBrand.com/latinx

Jayzen is thrilled to welcome Daniela Pierre-Bravo to the show. Daniela is a New York City-based Reporter for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe". She is also a best-selling author, speaker, contributor and producer for NBC’s “Know Your Value” platform. A former Cosmopolitan magazine columnist, Daniella has written on career advice, mental health, and financial wellness with an emphasis on women of color. Her work has been featured on the Today Show, Telemundo, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, New York Magazine, and more.

She is the co-author of “Earn It” alongside Mika Brzezinski. Her first solo book, “The Other: How to Own Your Power at Work as a Woman of Color” hit bookstores last month. Daniela spent many years undocumented and in the shadows as an immigrant from Chile, working odd jobs to pay her way through school. When Daniela became a DACA recipient, she finally felt that she’d made it, rising through the ranks in her career. But she quickly realized that no matter how much success she achieved, she always felt she had to prove her worth as “the other.”

MSNBC's "Morning Joe"

Daniela Pierre-Bravo is a New York City-based Reporter for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe". She is also a best-selling author, speaker, contributor and producer for NBC’s “Know Your Value” platform. A former Cosmopolitan magazine columnist, Daniella has written on career advice, mental health, and financial wellness with an emphasis on women of color. Her work has been featured on the Today Show, Telemundo, Forbes, Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, New York Magazine, and more.

She is the co-author of “Earn It” alongside Mika Brzezinski. Her first solo book, “The Other: How to Own Your Power at Work as a Woman of Color” hit bookstores last month. Daniela spent many years undocumented and in the shadows as an immigrant from Chile, working odd jobs to pay her way through school. Like many other women of color, immigrants, and children of immigrants she became an expert shape shifter in order to chameleon her way around professional environments that felt out of reach. When Daniela became a DACA recipient, she finally felt that she’d made it, rising through the ranks in her career. But she quickly realized that no matter how much success she achieved, she always felt she had to prove her worth as “the other.”

In “The Other,” Daniela shares her journey and those of other women to help you recognize your power through your own eyes instead of the traditional white gaze in the workplace.
