Latinos Empowered is an online platform that empowers Latinos in the U.S. by providing information and resources on finance, career, owning your story and voice.

Our mission is for Latinos to understand their potential and power in this country by providing guidance and tools that drive action and change in the Latinx community.

Hi! I am Patty. Welcome to our page!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a Masters of Science degree in Finance and B.S. in Economics and Finance and currently I am an Associate at one of the largest investment banks in the world. However, those things do not define me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am proud to be an immigrant. I am a first generation student. I am proud to be a U.S. citizen and I am tired of feeling powerless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I would like to think this feeling started with the current administration 4 years ago, but I’ve realized it started before that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am tired of Latinos being underrepresented, misrepresented, and undervalued.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are a force to be reckoned with and yet we are made to feel weak and small.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am realizing and understanding my power as a Latina in this country and I want to help other Latinos find their power as well. In this community, I will share reflections/stories, financial advice, health advice, news/resources.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All to be used to take action and all specifically for Latinos.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Power starts with information. Hope you join me on this journey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are taking back our power💪🏽

Hey there! I am Jessica. I am the other side of Latinos Empowered and am eager to be in this space with my better half, alongside powerful Latinos. Currently, I am a nurse in an ICU, beginning my graduate school journey for a Nurse Education degree, and in the middle of finding my passions, aspirations and overall self. It has been a rewarding and, simultaneously, trying time to get to this very moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a Latina in healthcare, I often found myself underrepresented amongst colleagues and over-stretched when caring for Hispanic patients. There are far too many barriers within a healthcare setting that, unfortunately, negatively affect our Latino communities as we have experienced amid the pandemic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am here to educate about how the healthcare system works against our people and what we can do about it. I am here to encourage Latinos whom desire to work within healthcare to continue pursuing their dreams. I am here to share about my life as a Hispanic female, how I overcame negative circumstances in an attempt to regain my power and how this is all still a work in progress. Mostly, I am here for you, a Latinx stumbling upon our page; I hope you feel compelled to share your story as a Latinx in this country and know just how powerful you can be.
