Kara Perez is the founder of Bravely, a community that gives self-identified women the financial tools to bridge the gap between their dreams and their realities. Kara discovered her love of finances courtesy of her quarter-life crisis. Broke, underemployed and saddled with student loan debt, she realized that her lack of financial education was crippling her adulthood. After becoming debt free in June 2015, Kara created Bravely to help other women take control of their financial lives. She’s co-host of the Fairer Cents Podcast: Women, Money and the Fight to Break Even.
