Lia Valencia Key

Entrepreneur / Keynote Speaker

Lia Valencia Key is the founder of Valencia Key, a jewelry brand with beautiful, unique pieces with a mission to encourage its wearers to not only choose joy and light but also to shine and reflect that light outwardly in order to have a positive impact on everyone around them. Lia, who was raised in an underprivileged area of Philadelphia, shared a homeless shelter with her mother, sister, and brother. Lia's mother advised her to always leave the house wearing her sparkling earrings since they would serve as a constant reminder of her inner light and the potential she possessed. Lia overcame her challenges and preserved her mother's legacy by having faith in herself, persevering against all circumstances, and pursuing her aspirations. Lia earned a master's degree and obtained her license as a stylist and cosmetologist.
