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.

Linda gives an update: she has had to leave Texas as her Republican colleagues push to redistrict and gerrymander the state. It's unclear when she will return to her home state.
After Linda's update, we're sharing an episode from our archive: Linda's interview with Yanely Espinal, a money expert, a financial educator, a podcaster, and a political advocate for financial literacy and education. You might also know her as Miss Be Helpful on Instagram. Yanely and Linda are currently co-sponsoring a financial literacy education bill on the Texas House floor, along with Representative Ken King. Linda and Yanely also discuss the political process, from advocacy and lobbying, to organizing, plus their overlapping work in the finance space.
