Linda Garcia, Texas House Representative, author of Wealth Warrior: 8 Steps for Communities of Color to Conquer the Stock Market, and founder of In Luz We Trust, is dedicated to empowering BIPOC and Latinx communities through financial literacy. Her podcast, Investies, tackles real-money topics, demystifies investing, and explores crucial areas like the stock market, money management, and the impact of interest rates on personal finances. Linda’s work advocates for financial independence, championing equity and representation for all, especially immigrants and marginalized communities. As a financial feminist, she encourages listeners—regardless of political affiliation, be it Republican or Democrat—to take control of their financial futures. Through her podcast and advocacy, Linda tackles the intersection of financial education, the economy, and geopolitics, helping diverse communities build wealth and secure their place in today’s financial landscape.

We're dipping into the archives to bring you an always-relevant topic: keeping your emotions in-check while the stock market swings, dips, and rises.
To say that it has been a wild week for the stock market is an understatement. Linda reminds us that along our financial journey, we’re going to hit bumps in the road. What do we do when the market starts going haywire? Sit tight, take a deep breath, and wait out the chaos. When you’re investing, patience is the name of the game. And don’t forget: this election season has been pretty intense! And the stock market and the economy are reacting. Just stay the course, breathe, and don’t make any sudden movements!

There are so many ways to make the stock market work for you as you gain more experience as an investor. If you have questions about different kinds of investing, please reach out! You can find us on Patreon, and submit questions without getting a membership (but we appreciate it if you do decide to invest in our show!). We love speaking with our listeners. Happy investing and happy trading!
