Join us on an emotionally charged journey as we delve into the life story of Carol Umanzor, the inspiring Founder of Born to be Seen. In this episode, we will explore the profound impact of her upbringing on the financial perspective of women of color.

Carol's tale will transport you from the landscapes of El Salvador to the streets of California, where her parents sought refuge from economic hardships. As undocumented immigrants, they tirelessly worked to provide a better life for Carol and her siblings, driven by an unwavering belief in their children's potential for financial independence. They instilled values of financial self-sufficiency, higher education, and taking bold risks, encouraging their children not to rely solely on marriage for security.

Together, Carol and I will delve into the profound effects of this upbringing, exploring ways to reshape the narrative for the next generation. Most importantly, we will address how daughters of immigrants can heal their wounds by bravely seeking the support they need to forge a future that is truly fulfilling.

Carol’s business, Born to be Seen, centers on the idea that we were all Born to be Seen and celebrated as we are. She holds a Master of Art in Teaching and a Master of Science in Cell Molecular Biology. She was a science teacher for several years and it was this experience that shaped Carol’s desire to share her journey in emotional wellness with others.

In her business, Carol centers on a humanizing approach that is intersectional, responsive, and inclusive. She is revving up to offer various ways to tap into “The Journe”y including workshops, resources, content, and more!

In this week's episode, Luzy King joins us and talks about her work as the founder of Say Hola Wealth. Luzy King is a badass Latina who helps women of color with their finances, money mindset, money traumas, limiting money beliefs, investing, operating a business, and learning their worth (figuratively and literally!)

Luzy King is the founder of Say Hola Wealth, a financial and business coaching agency for First Gen Latinas and immigrants.

In 2019, Luzy founded Say Hola Wealth after she was denied access to financial advice and witnessed how many Latinas & WOC lost their job due to a global pandemic, and most of them didn't have a $500.00 emergency fund.

As a first-gen investor from humble beginnings, Luzy understands the challenges of building wealth since financial literacy is not taught in school, and In most cases, the cultural beliefs in the Latino household prevent the first gens and immigrants from building wealth.
