Publisher's Synopsis
Sharing the stories of Extraordinary Latinas who triumphed over challenges, shattered barriers, pursued their dreams, challenged the status quo, embraced their identities, and demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Latinas are increasingly emerging as pivotal contributors to the growth and vitality of the United States across various spheres, including education, economy, and culture. Despite this, Latinas still encounter disparities in access, support, recognition, and representation. It is imperative, now more than ever, to reshape the narrative and redefine our influence. This is our moment to challenge notions like "calladita te vez mas bonita" and acknowledge that our true strength emanates from our individuality, heritage, and collective voices. By amplifying our voices and sharing our narratives, we not only fortify ourselves but also foster understanding, empathy, and recognition of our potential through the experiences of others. This book serves as a collection of courageous and inspiring tales, showcasing triumph over adversity and defying odds. Remember, you are not alone in your journey. Within the pages of "Extraordinary Latinas," you will find a community of powerful women who have traveled similar paths and are eager to support you in embracing your own power and potential as an Extraordinary Latina. UNITED LATINAS is a collaborative organization devoted to empowering, amplifying, and connecting Hispanic Women to elevate their leadership impact and presence by providing upskilling workshops, mentoring, leadership & professional development opportunities, visibility, networking, and community-building platforms and programs.
