Amanda Fernandez, Founder & CEO of Latinos for Education and I spoke at Frank Carbajal’s Silicon Valley Latino Leadership Summit about both the challenges and opportunities in the hard work ahead. A common theme was when you see a challenge and no one is stepping up, it’s time to raise your hand and lead. That’s where Amanda and I align—when solutions aren’t clear, we don’t hesitate. We get to work, no matter how long the journey may be. True change begins when we commit fully. Real change starts when YOU go all in. #TakeTheLead #DriveForChange #LatinoLeadership #Community

Last night, we gathered as leaders from across industries, united by our passion for uplifting the Latino community. The room was filled with stories of triumph, perseverance, and innovation—proof that when we come together, there are no limits to what we can achieve. It’s moments like these that I am reminded of the importance of collaboration and solidarity. Each conversation opens a door to new possibilities, and together, we’re moving our community forward. Much gratitude to colleague and friend Refugio, Andre Arbelaez, Anna Dapelo-Garcia, Dennise Rosas , Sandra Noemi Torres, Clemente Nicado, Carlos & Gabriel Z.—you are the heartbeat of progress in our community. #LatinoLeadership #LatinoProfessionals #LatinaProfessionals #LatinxProfessionals
