WERULE: Erika De La Cruz WERULE

Hosted by: @malika_b26  @_erikadelacruz, is a Mini-Mega Boss: Best Selling Author of Passionistas & Founder of Passion to Paycheck, lifestyle conference & community. The California State Senate has named her “The Millennial to Watch” and she has shared her journey as a first generation Mexican American and Survivor of the 2009 American Economy Crash with publications like Forbes,Today, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur and Vogue. Erika Lost everything in the economic crash of 2009. Her family’s items were confiscated & re-sold at swap meets across California. At the same time, her mother chose voluntary homelessness & Erika was left with no choice but to figure out how to get to college and build a life that would allow her to help her family. A lot of the country is experiencing similar circumstances as COVID-19 regulations are being carefully navigated and Erika is helping to mentor thousands through doubt and uncertainty. Optimism & hope brought her out of her mentality of defeat and allowed her to create a life she loves: Helping bring global access to positive emotional health & personal power for women everywhere (like she was able to access when she thought her life was over.) While she has “achieved” much in her lifetime, she prides herself on working and collaborating under those from whom she can learn. “When you stop learning, you stop growing” says De La Cruz and therefore- assisting & championing The Love Academy, and having a chance to learn from Serena De Comarmond, a seasoned & international love-guru on this season of Dream Life, airing August 1st on FYI, was a no-brainer for her!
