In the United States today, it's a startling statistic: while 61 percent of Latinas are part of the workforce, they occupy less than two percent of executive positions and hold less than three percent of corporate board seats. It's a stark reality that sheds light on the uphill battle Latinas face in reaching leadership roles. They navigate a unique path as a "double minority," confronting challenges both as women and ethnic minorities. Historical barriers persist, shaping the landscape of leadership for Latina women. But amid these challenges, there are stories of triumph. High-level Latina contributors are breaking barriers and paving the way for the next generation of leaders. Their journeys are inspiring, and their efforts to empower Latina leaders of tomorrow are profound. This discussion promises to be enlightening, offering insights into the struggles and successes of Latina leadership. It's a session that will undoubtedly spark thought and inspire attendees to move forward—vamos adelante.
