This is as honest as I've ever been. Forbes and OwnTrail- thank you for sharing my life's trail and having this interview be a powerful act of introspection.

I had the chance to sit down with Rebekah Bastian and discuss some of my life's key takeaways:

- My personal experiences and multi-cultural background have led me to being versatile. It's not about just working hard nor playing by the rules. I’ve often had to create my own, and as Alex Banayan would state, I've gone through 'Third Door'.

- A quest for representation is fuel for creativity and opportunity for finding one's inner voice, as was the case for when I created 'The Corporate Diary'. Fascinated to understand how people who looked like me did in similar cultures to those resembling the 'Wolf of Wall Street'.

- Every woman has a story and we're not yet at a point where society allows us to be open and honest about our experiences without fear of consequence.

- Finding a balance between always working towards the next big milestone and being content in the moment lies in gratitude and faith.

Kat Garcia is a Growth Architect working in corporate venture capital and the founder of The Corporate Diary, focused on sharing female perspectives in male dominated fields. As a Latina in entertainment and business, Kat is passionate about amplifying women’s voices and experiences.

It was a surreal week. published an article I co-wrote about the Latinx youth and how brands should look to the $1.9T in purchasing power opportunity when scaling. Investor and fellow Latina, Ilse Calderon, and I distill the aggrandizement of Latinx youth and how to approach targeting through growth tactics. 🚀

Making it on the front page was the cherry on top! 🙌🏽 I really hope investors and founders alike realize the fruits of this hidden generation. Ilse’s coined term HC Latinx made me feel less alone and having numbers to back up a group of people who are in many ways American and in others their parents’ countries and mixture of cultures + sub-cultures is where the curiosity begins.

I won’t bore you with the details but I’m beyond thankful to Ilse for allowing me to participate and share my perspective as 3rd culture kid who often is confused with where she belongs. Thanks to for your openness and support towards Latinos and 🤍💃🏽✨💁🏽‍♀️

Your girl made it to the front page of TechCrunch! Check out the co-authored article on 'Brands building for scale should look to Hypercultural Latinx consumers'.

💁🏽‍♀️Addressing the Hypercultural Latinx
📱 3 Ways the HC Latinx differs from other similarly aged U.S. groups
🖐 Going to Market / Don't Underestimate the Power of the DM

Hypercultural Latinx consumers are different from their mostly white counterparts in the way they vigorously engage with technology, their obsession with being online at all times and their unique shopping habits.

15 years, 20K followers across platforms and way too many site iterations to count, my baby (katgarciaonline.com) has RELAUNCHED.

Years ago before the influencer economy boomed, a major corporation asked me: ‘What does your website and viral YouTube videos have anything to do with business? With marketing?’ Today, I’m asked the same as it relates to venture capital.

The answer is ‘everything’.

The difference is, I don’t want to work with anyone who doesn’t understand this. Who doesn’t understand the power of platform, community and deal flow. Anyone who doesn’t understand the power of underestimated people.

Katgarciaonline.com features lifestyle, career coaching, corporate interviews with BADASS women, videos, articles, scout program connecting startups, ladies who lunch virtual community and SO MUCH MORE.

I’m beyond ecstatic and proud. Besides thinking it’s my best version yet (teehee) ☺️, I’m happy with the platform more so because this is the most honest I have been with myself. It’s me but 🙋🏽‍♀️😂.

THANK YOU for sticking with me throughout my various careers and respective content. I hope to continue to evolve. I understand it’s not for everyone and that’s OK. 🤍

Off to celebrate 🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽
