 What does a Latina woman bring to the world?

“As a Latin immigrant woman, I bring resilience, adaptability, and cultural richness to the world. We, Latin women, are not afraid to work hard, refuse to take no as an answer, and keep fighting to live our dreams. Our natural Latin fire makes us unique and unstoppable. My journey has taught me the value of diversity, empathy, and the power of bridging cultures to create more inclusive, innovative, and interconnected spaces”- Germana

“When I talk with a Latina woman at work, go to a party, or even speak with my husband four words come to my mind: family, tradition, confidence and elegance. As Latina women we bring a deep connection with family, and tradition, because we are proud of where we come from. Along with this, we bring confidence in everything we do, complemented with our unique beauty, and elegance. AND I couldn’t make this in a short sentence because we love to talk 😅- Zuleica

“I believe that latina women are powerful, passionate, and resilient. We take pride in our cultural roots, which are centered around family. Having lived in this country for nearly 20 years, I’ve come to understand the true strength of diversity and discovered who I really am. Being “different” and part of a minority has had a significant impact on my life, raising many questions and concerns along the way. But through this journey, I’ve come to realize the incredible power that lies in diversity” - Daniela E.

“ A Latina woman in the global corporate world is a gem! First, many Latinas come with at least a bilingual background, which enhances communication across diverse teams and markets. They also have a deeper understanding of cultural nuances, making them valuable in navigating international business landscapes. Not only that, the warmth and interpersonal connection that are inherent to Latin culture can be particularly impactful in some business areas, where building strong relationships and trust with partners and clients is key” - Livia.

“Besides bringing joy, beauty and passion, Latina women bring incredible strength and resilience to the world! With strong family values, we’re like the Swiss Army knives of love and care. Latin women are often the backbone of their families, and our grandmothers serve as our greatest inspiration. We work hard, balancing jobs and family, often putting our dreams aside for others. Growing up in a traditionally machista society, we have learned to find our voices, express our emotions openly, and stand strong when needed. Many of us fight for opportunities to thrive both professionally and personally, breaking the stereotypes that once held us back. We prove that we are more than just caregivers; we are leaders, innovators, and role models. We show the world that love and strength are not mutually exclusive; they’re the power couple and that true empowerment comes from embracing our heritage while striving for independence!” Poliana

“A Latina woman brings to the world a profound sense of loyalty, resilience, and unwavering support. Shaped by experiences of navigating spaces where she may be the only woman, she learns to trust her inner voice and uplift others through the power of sorority. Her rich cultural heritage—celebrated through vibrant traditions and an unyielding spirit—drives her to make a meaningful impact with warmth, empathy, and resilience. I am inspired by female leaders who showcase diverse leadership styles and possibilities, which motivate me to advocate for equity and inclusion. I challenge the status quo and break down biases, ensuring that every woman's contributions are recognized as powerful forces for transformation. In essence, a Latina woman enriches the world by being unapologetically herself and by leading with heart, leaving an indelible mark wherever she goes” - Yassmin

“Latina women bring creativity to everyone's life. We manage to be resourceful with anything that is given to us and are able to create beautiful outcomes, experiences, moments and relationships. We fill any room with joy and influential energy. We have unmeasurable strength for any challenge that is presented to us but always overcome it with a smile, a joke and wisdom” - Angelica

“We, as Latina women, have a special ability to bring light and warmth to any space we enter. Though our personalities may differ, we share a unique strength and grace that allow us to achieve anything we set our minds to. In our hearts, we carry the legacy of our ancestors, the rhythm of our music, and the connection to nature that flows through our veins. Together, these elements shape a spirit that is both courageous and creative, making us resilient, captivating, and deeply connected to the world around us. 🥰🥰” - Beth

“Latina women often bring a sense of warmth and joy to life. The ability to persevere with a positive mindset. It reflects a deep-rooted resilience, with a “I can never give up" mindset, no matter how complicated the environment might be, which is a unique strength. There’s something special about the way a simple meal, made with love, can lift the spirits of those around us, an expression of care that runs deep in many Latin cultures. It’s not just about reaching goals, but about ensuring that everyone around shares in that journey with positivity and love. Women who  bring vibrant cultural traditions and perspectives from a variety of countries and ethnic backgrounds. This diversity enriches social, artistic, and intellectual stages. Whether through music, dance, cuisine, or art, Latina women have a profound impact on how cultures interact and influence each other. Girls & Women grow up in environments where they face systemic challenges, including gender bias, racial discrimination, and economic hardship. These obstacles often shape them into resilient individuals, capable of overcoming adversity with persistence, resourcefulness, and grace. Family is the heart of a Latina woman who often takes on pivotal roles in both their families and communities. This instills a sense of responsibility for the well-being of others, leading them to become advocates for social justice, education freedom, and health. In leadership, they prioritize collaboration, empathy, and teamwork, creating environments where relationships and trust are key to success. This approach fosters strong bonds, not only within families but also in the workplace and community” - Asha

“For me Latinas bring joy, warmth, security, perseverance, resilience and adaptability. We always find the best or the humor in each situation. We will always be there for comfort when someone needs a shoulder to cry on. When you befriend a Latina you have someone that will always stick up for you and have your back. Shit will get tough but we will be tougher, never going down without a fight. Lastly, we become what we need to be for our community and our family and we adapt to multiple environments” - Vanessa

“Since I remember, Latin women are matriarchy, although we have lived years and antecedents of extreme machismo, I noticed that my grandmother was the one who moved the house and everything around her, in the houses of my friends, cousins, relatives, women are the ones who master the activities and follow up all the needs of the family. And not only the household activities but also about the accompaniment we give to our families, friends, coworkers, we always seek to leave our mark. In the world of work, as we were in the background for years, having the opportunities we have today is incredible. We always look for the possibility of being better, mastering topics and tools so we don't depend on anyone, we seek human warmth in all our interactions, we always try to put ourselves in the shoes of others so that we can understand each situation as unique. Our maternal and family care instinct has been imprinted on us for generations. We like to adapt immediately so that we can help others. We share everything from learning techniques or work structure to cooking recipes or home remedies from our ancestors to help other people. We don't like to repeat traumas, so if something happens to us in the past, we try never to treat people the way it happened to us.We learn from our mistakes and always try to be better. With the equality they have given us (we have also sought for that equality) also comes great responsibilities to be able to continue educating the current and new generations. When we make mistakes we always try to share with others to prevent them from commenting on them. We bring to the table much more than just a profile, we are extremely capable of covering various positions in a single day in a single moment.” - Patty

“For me being a Latina woman means we can do it all!  We have all encountered numerous challenges, and we know that being Latina adds another layer to that. We all have demonstrated strength and resilience as we confront unique obstacles. At work, at home, at school. In life! Latina women are vibrant; we inspire others and demonstrate power, all while prioritizing family, community, and collaboration. We are some of the hardest-working people and passionate about the things we care about. We promote teamwork at home with our families or at work as leaders. We are creative and effective. We can react and adapt to many situations. We contribute significantly, and we inspire. We advocate for those who can't advocate for themselves. We learn from our mistakes and hope the next generation is even better than ours. We always remember where we came from and are thankful for who and where we are today. We are strong and we are united.” - Jessica

“Means embodying resilience, pride, and an unbreakable spirit. It’s carrying the strength of ancestors while navigating the present with grace and determination. A Latina woman is the fusion of rich cultural heritage and modern empowerment, a fierce protector of family and tradition, while boldly pushing boundaries. We stand tall, unafraid to reclaim space, lend our voice, and inspire to help others, embracing our identity with passion and unwavering dignity.” - Eveli

“As Latina women we bring fire & passion to everything we touch. Like Celia Cruz, we love and live by the mantra ”¡La vida es un carnaval!”—approaching life with joy, even when the odds are stacked. We got the hustle of a Bad Bunny anthem moving through challenges with confidence and flair, and the energy of Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie”, proving we are always moving forward with precision and grace (las mujeres ‘a veces’ lloran, las mujeres facturan) We are always “ready for whatever,” like a reggaeton beat that just won’t quit.” - Marianella

“ I think Latina women (unlike other nationalities) have a very strong sense of family. Family is very important to us (parents, siblings, uncles, cousins, etc.). We don’t lose that bond and always try to stay connected with our relatives. I believe this is reflected in the professional lives of Latinas, as they create a more humanized, even affectionate, environment. Latinas go beyond their professional roles and see their coworkers as whole individuals (both professionally and personally). By humanizing professional relationships, Latinas earn the trust and admiration of both their subordinates and superiors. They also present themselves as more genuine, going beyond the superficial layer that I believe many American and other professionals adopt. Latinas break barriers with their authentic and human approach.” - Anonymous

“I always think of STRENGTH when I see the women in my family and my friends. We are strong enough to face everything and handle so many people and places at the same time! 😊” - Tereza

“I wonder if it’s a Latina challenge or a global female challenge. Just managing so many roles and demands and acting as if it’s normal. I think the issue is so deep that it’s rooted in our beliefs and culture. We put ourselves in this position and demand that we handle this reality. Latinas are strong.” - Juliana

“As a Latina, I bring resilience and a willingness to achieve success amidst an environment that is often not favorable to women in technology. Nine years ago, I moved to the United States with my husband and two-year-old child to pursue a career as a technical engineer in Silicon Valley. Every single day, I have had to prove my worth and earn respect in my field. I believe that my Latin background has instilled in me a toughness and a versatility that enables me to take on any challenge necessary to succeed. In Latin culture, we are raised with the spirit that hard work pays off and that we must always get back on our feet whenever someone tries to bring us down. Additionally, we tend to be more adaptable to change than many other cultures, owing to the diverse and constantly challenging environments of our home countries. These conditions foster creativity and resourcefulness, enabling us to keep moving forward. This adaptability is often referred to as the "Latin swagger," a unique blend of confidence and ability to navigate and thrive amidst change and adversity.” - Fernanda

“I believe that Latinas have a unique energy. When I say energy, I’m referring to the emotion and enthusiasm that we, Latinas, possess. We are pure emotion. The joy that spreads with just a simple smile when saying good morning. It’s hard to find another culture that shows such warmth wherever it goes. We get emotional about every situation in our day, with our heart rates shifting according to the moment; and when we face a challenge, we celebrate with a unique enthusiasm. Not just with challenges, but in moments of fun, like during a game. How we live that moment with emotion and enthusiasm. The energy of enthusiasm is present in our culture!”  - Najila

“Out of main characteristics, I think we add an extra layer of compassion, empathy and light into every room we join. Yes, we are not afraid to work, being loud and passionate. But we also don’t think twice before landing a helping hand when seeing someone in need and start working on a solution immediately. We are also way more clever than most people portray us. 😉 but the fun part is to keep it a surprise.” - Amanda
