Come meet the founders of PODERISTAS™, the fastest growing and most influential and inclusive digital community for Latinas. Hear about the organization’s mission and goals, what they have done in their first phase and the exciting plans for the coming year and beyond.
The last few months have been both challenging and invigorating for our country and for the Latinx community, but through it all we saw the power of our community and the incredible power of individual Latinas to affect change on her own life and the lives of others. PODERISTAS provides the platform, content and inspiration to lift Latinas up as catalysts for change by harnessing their power to become force multipliers with their families and their communities. We are at the dawn of a new chapter for our organization, our cause, and our platform. We are ready to take our work to the next level. We hope you join us!
