Today we’re excited to welcome Zaneilia Harris, CFP® into In The Suite. Zaneilia is President of Harris & Harris Wealth Management Group, LLC, author of the book, Finance 'n Stilettos: Money Matter for the Well-Heeled Woman. Zaneilia brings a wealth of knowledge gained from her more than 25 years of experience in the financial and accounting industry.

She resides in a Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, DC, with her husband and daughter.

Zaneilia has a zest for all things finance, from inspiring her daughter to save for college and aim for greatness from empowering women to live and define the legacy they wish to leave. For mothers of daughters, Zaneilia offers her personal advice on how to start discussing money with the next generation. She's a true inspiration for all women on how to break behaviors and create legacies to empower future generations of women and young girls In The Suite.

In this episode, we also talk about microaggressions in life and in the workplace and have an open dialogue about the lack of Black women CEOs, toxicity from microaggressions, and facing health issues due to stress.

Furthermore, Zaneilia shares her strategies on how to negotiate to get what you want. She advises women not to go into negotiations empty-handed; rather, do your research extensively. Research about the position, research about what others are being paid for that opportunity. Ultimately, she advises women to ask for what they deserve; it's about realigning your career to meet your values. Zaneilia teaches us it’s never too late to face the path of your dreams rather than diverting further and further from it.
