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 covering a lot in this week’s episode! The dockworkers’ strike is over, and we’re going to unpack how this is impacting the market and inflation. We look into how inflation, historial October market trends–particularly in election years–are influencing the stock market trends. We’re also touching on how our own scarcity mindset impacts our kids’ attitudes towards money. And Linda shares a bit about campaign funding as she’s running for office (hint: it has to do with investing–at least, in the state of Texas).
