Growing up, Akeiva’s family didn’t talk about money. Her parents were immigrants still trying to figure out how money worked in the US, and thus, it was never much of a topic to be discussed.

While working with clients worth millions in her 9-5, Akeiva wanted to find a way to share her knowledge with regular people, just like herself...and thus, The Bemused was born.
