Empowered women empower women.
Few embody that sentiment more than our guest editor, Anna Maria Chávez. Here, she highlights the importance of mentors, global leadership, women in STEM, and women in HR along with fifteen Latinas who exemplify the best of these groups.
Mentors & Mentees
“Mentorship isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity, especially for Latina leaders. Every day that we show up and make change, we’re achieving firsts, and we’re modeling courage and success for those coming behind us. Our actions speak volumes, but so do our words, behaviors, and guidance. It is our responsibility to help build the next generation of Latina leaders. Mentorship is the way.”
