Being an entrepreneur is like breathing to me. I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was a little girl and my brother and I would go door-to-door in our projects selling things we found.

The first event, held in Washington, D.C. this past February was an eye opener to say the least. It started with me reaching out to my network of professional Latinas for a casual get-together. I […]
Have I ever told you about my superpower? I have a work ethic that would make most people run screaming to find comfort in the latest work-life-balance guru’s words.
