As we conclude Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m compelled to share my thoughts on the profound impact of our Hispanic and Latino community in the professional world.

Immense gratitude to the the LEGO Group for inviting me to speak of my professional journey in celebration of my heritage.

Our collective journey is a testament to resilience and ambition:
* In corporate America, we’re not just climbing ladders; we’re redesigning the very structures of leadership.
* As entrepreneurs, we’re not merely starting businesses; we’re pioneering innovative solutions that reshape industries.
* Our success is built on the foundation laid by those who dared to dream beyond borders, embodying courage that now fuels our drive for excellence.

To the organizations that have taken meaningful steps to understand and celebrate our multifaceted heritage: your efforts are noted and appreciated. True inclusivity, however, demands year-round commitment.

At Encuentras Your Voice Podcast, we’ve made it our mission to elevate diverse Latina voices daily. This month has reinforced the critical importance of this work.

Moving forward, our focus remains unwavering:
✨ Amplify authentic narratives across all levels of professional achievement
✨ Foster unity while honoring the rich diversity within our community
✨Challenge prevailing narratives to ensure our complete story is told

💖 The question for all of us: How will we leverage our heritage as a catalyst for innovation and leadership in our respective fields?

👉🏽 Share your vision for advancing Latina leadership in your industry below! Your voice creates the symphony of unity.

Let’s continue to break barriers, mentor the next generation, and redefine success on our own terms. Our legacy demands nothing less.

Together, we’ll chart the course for a more inclusive and dynamic professional landscape.

Thrilled to announce my participation in a prestigious speaker panel for LEGO’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration!

For decades I have received paid speaking positions to share my structural engineering expertise or Woman In STEM experiences.

But to be asked to share my cultural journey and the impact it has had on my career, life choices and success is a whole different level.

I’ll be sharing my journey alongside the esteemed Claudia Romo Edelman and Brenda L. Sanchez-Pineda at the LEGO Group New York headquarters.

This panel unites Latina professionals to explore our cultural and professional paths, showcasing the power of diverse perspectives. As a global leader in fostering creativity and imagination, LEGO recognizes the vital role of representation in shaping young minds.

By amplifying Latina voices, LEGO reinforces its commitment to inspiring all children to dream big and build their futures, brick by brick. They may even become structural engineers, like me!

I’m truly grateful for the invitation to contribute to this important conversation and look forward to an engaging and impactful discussion that will help pave the way for the next generation of innovators, leaders and engineers.

We can bearly wait! 🐻🧸 for our little nieto arriving in October, blessing his beautiful mama Olivia with a lifetime of joy 💙

Our little trio has grown! With Phil’s fabulous family from Virginia bringing the love and ensuring this aerospace engineer is prepped to teach his little one 💗

Olivia was made on triple lattes so had to keep the tradition going with Intuición Cafe’s espresso cart! ☕️ Founder Melissa Sandoval Restrepo infused us all with happiness and giggles! TY for taking it to a whole other level with espresso martinis 🍸

The female vibe was truly hopping and getting that little one ready for the next generation of femme. 🫶🏽

Gracias a todas who joined us and much love to those we missed! 💐

Behold, my statement picture! But not for the reasons you might think...

This isn’t just about the Eiffel Tower or the Olympics buzz. It’s about breaking free from the invisible ties of cultural expectations, courtesy of the amazing Latinas who’ve graced Encuentras Your Voice Podcast .

Last year, Peruvian solo traveler extraordinaire Flavia Cornejo (the brains behind Latina Traveler) dropped truth about sneaky ways family expectations can cramp our style - especially for us first-born Latina daughters.

Who knew our authenticity was getting a time-out?

Putting yourself in the spotlight? Traditionally a big no-no.

So when I saw Flavia’s stunning, confident Instagram shots, my jaw hit the floor. How did she muster the courage to capture such epic moments, solo, IN PUBLIC?

Sin vergüenza! come to mind?

Flavia’s empowering words echoed in my ears: “You have to get your shot no matter where you are.” Talk about a life mantra!

So there I was, phone on the ground, snapping 30+ pictures, accidentally photobombing strangers (sorry not sorry!), all to capture MY perfect shot. And you know what? It felt amazing.

This picture is my turning point, my commitment to moving beyond cultural limitations and embracing the freedom to express myself fully in the world.

Graciás, Flavia! You’ve forever changed how I show up in the world. Here’s to always taking our shot - in life and in photos! 🌟📸

🎙️ Listen to her fabulous episode, Breaking Cultural Norms to Travel the World Solo with Flavia Cornejo on any of your favorite streaming platforms.

👀Take a look at her amazing IG account 💐

Finally back stateside after a transformative journey abroad! Excited to share the powerful lessons learned during this healing experience.

Leaving behind all role expectations and embracing solo living overseas brought clarity, allowing space for grief, healing, and setting a new course for the future.

Grateful to the guests for imparting profound life lessons and gratitude. It’s incredible what we can learn by truly listening to each other.

Te amo mucho, hermosa linda 💗

Slovenia !🇸🇮 what a magical fairyland… 💗

Lake Bohinj so far below (can you see the base of the gondola? 😅)

Reason #5897532268 I’m not a niche focus kind of mujer…

Sometimes I’m Queen on the waters with the power of a goddess…

and sometimes I’m a humble human, climbing 10 miles and 3200 feet to witness Queen Nature explode from the ground …

From Venice to Slovenia, life in full gear because the world is huge and time is short… 💜

This ain’t Texas, this is Cuba! 🇨🇺

Had my look going strong in Cuba 2019…

Rode into the tabacco fields with these caballeros guapos, smoked hand rolled ci**rs and did a hat swap!

Guess which hat is mine? 🤠

💫 There’s something magical about a Christmas baby, especially when she’s the one who made me a mama.

We were in the hospital at Christmas… it had been a difficult delivery and she was in ICU.

I never held her until midnight on Christmas Eve when they brought her to me.

A man, Daniel, came to the door of our room and began singing Silent Night, the light shining behind him, his silhouette like an angel … “mother and child, so tender and mild”…

I can’t listen to that hymn without crying, the same way I did that night, 33 years ago.

Most blessed Christmas present ever… 💗

Feliz cumple, princesita …te amo siempre y para los siglos 😘
