Asia Martin of Wealth Management writes on how Rianka Dorsainvil and Lazetta Braxton have merged their practices to create a virtual firm that moves away from 'assimilation and lip service.'
Rianka Dorsainvil, a financial advisor and the producer and host of the 2050 Trailblazers podcast, merged her financial planning practice with that of financial planner Lazetta Braxton to create the registered investment advisory firm 2050 Wealth Partners, the women announced Monday.
“Rianka and I have been very active in helping firms gain and retain talent. So, we are saying that not only are we going to give voice, we’re going to help model it,” said Braxton.
