Kimberly Bizu is a founder, speaker, and advocate dedicated to empowering women to challenge the paradoxes of modern womanhood. Having spent five years in New York working as the assistant to high-profile female executives and award-winning journalists in Fashion, Media, and Philanthropy—think The Devil Wears Prada—Kim gained behind-the-scenes access to what it takes to be a “woman on top” before taking the leap to become one herself, founding Rich Little Brokegirls to empower women to define success on their own terms. As the founder of Rich Little Brokegirls, a collective and community, Kim creates spaces—both online and offline—where women can come together, share diverse perspectives, and define their paths. Her work examines the contradictory expectations for women to be everything—the 'perfect' Housewife and ambitious CEO—along with the inequalities women face and the societal pressures that shape our choices.

Born into a Nigerian matriarchal family with strong, powerful women, Kim was guided by the belief that, regardless of who you choose to marry or what you choose to do, women should be independent and always preserve their freedom of choice. With a deep interest in the intersections of feminism, identity, and freedom, Kim’s brand is rooted in the belief that women should be free to choose their paths without judgment. Her platform serves as a powerful resource for women seeking community, empowerment, and the confidence to be unapologetically selfish in the pursuit of freedom and independence.

When I turned 25, half of my friends ran off to marry well, and the other half were hell-bent on climbing the corporate ladder and girlbossing to the top. I found myself in the middle, not sure what to do... Do I get a boyfriend or a business plan? Well, the latter happened first, and Rich Little Brokegirls was born.

My goal was to build a brand that emphasized the point in a woman's life when she doesn’t quite have it figured out. At the same time, I wanted to call out the paradox of society's expectation for women to be everything—the Housewife and the CEO. For me, Rich Little Brokegirls underscores the truth behind our choices and the contradictory reality of being a woman.

There’s always someone who’s utterly perplexed when I say the name Rich Little Brokegirls, because it’s one of those things—you either get it or you don’t. For context, the name was inspired by the book Poor Little Bitch Girl by Jackie Collins, the late British novelist and one of my first female idols. Jackie wrote about powerful Hollywood Housewives and bad*ss CEOs. At 16, I was deeply influenced by her heroine’s power to ‘bend the world to her will.’ Through storytelling, she taught me that feminism is, at its core, a woman's right and freedom to choose. So whether you want to be the Housewife, the CEO, or none of the sorts, through Rich Little Brokegirls, my hope is that we figure it out together.
