Hi! I’m Berna, your financial hype woman.

 

I’m a producer, speaker and Fin-fluencer (is that a thing?) dedicated to making financial literacy more funny, more accessible, and more Brown for young people everywhere.

FEATURED IN

I make videos, host workshops, and sweat

a lot on Instagram Stories to teach young people the absolute basics of money.

SO, HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

3 THINGS I BRING TO THE PERSONAL FINANCE GAME

REPRESENTATION

I’m a brown-skinned, big-haired, she/her first-gen child of Filipino immigrants. And I'm yelling about money. I couldn’t be weirder in this very white, very male world of money “gurus” (an appropriated term in itself, but okay). My impact is simple, but profound: When brown folks see me in this space, they can finally see themselves in the world of financial freedom, too.

RELEVANCY

I bring two things so sorely missing from the world of personal finance: Humor and transparency. My bank account screenshots are unedited. My money memes are non-negotiable.

REVOLUTION

Those who seek to oppress women and people of color speak one language, and one             language only: Money. When we teach young people that our dollar is not just a tool, but a weapon with which to vote, organize and resist, we level ourselves with those who have been in power for far too long.
