Berna Anat (@heyberna) is an award-winning producer, speaker, podcast host, rich auntie in training, and Financial Hype Woman—which is her made-up way of saying she creates financial education media all over the Internet. A proud Filipina-American daughter of immigrants, born and raised in the Bay Area of Northern California, she taught herself how to pay off over $50,000 of debt and did what any Millennial would do: Yell about it online. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Forbes and Buzzfeed, and she's dropped her money mic speaking at venues such as Google, Instagram and PayPal. Berna is the host and producer of the Money Please podcast with Betches Media. She has been named the Plutus Award's Most Entertaining Financial Content Creator two years in a row, and was named one of ABS-CBN's Global Pinoy Idols, recognizing the most influential Filipinx folks in the United States. Berna's Kirkus-starred debut book, MONEY OUT LOUD with Harper Collins/Quill Tree, will be available on April 25th.
