From Dow Jones & Company:

Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, popular personal finance expert, returns to New York City to promote her new book, “Bounce Back: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Resilience.” The book recounts her experience of bouncing back from being laid off and turning it into a successful career despite the setbacks she faced. The book also covers various other challenging situations, like debt, disability, discrimination, and disease, and how to emerge from them stronger. Khalfani-Cox also explains how to overcome retrenchment and financial crises and emphasizes the importance of continuing to save and invest in the stock market.

In addition, Khalfani-Cox includes a candid chapter on discrimination in her book, exploring how the financial sector is judgment-laden, and how systemic barriers can affect people’s financial security, especially in communities of color. Reflecting on her personal experience with discrimination in the financial sector, she calls for the financial-services industry to address issues of financial inclusion. She shares the powerful message that the key to overcoming these challenges is to keep fighting through them.
