BEATRIZ RIVERA

Hi! I'm Beatriz. I'm from South Central, LA and I'm an entrepreneur coach. As an entrepreneur coach, my mission is to help women of color, bipoc and queer entrepreneurs embrace their entrepreneur identity and walk along their journey with a bit more ease. I have a lot of complex layers. I identity as an introvert which made it hard to figure out social media for business. I had to find the confidence in myself to take up space, share my journey all while helping new entrepreneurs just like me. Let's connect!
