This month on the Polished Podcast, we’re celebrating Latina Heritage Month by amplifying the voices of Latinas making their mark in the workplace and a special introduction from the ladies of Brunch Con Salsa podcast. Latinas belong to the largest minority group in the U.S. and have significant buying power in the economy, yet negative stereotypes diminish their identities as image-bearers of God and contributors at work. Christ's work on the cross calls for all of us, Latinas included, to see each other through his eyes.
Rocío López has a deep-rooted passion for empowerment and transformation. This has fueled her professional experiences and has inevitably carried over into other aspects of her life. She has worked at a global non-profit headquartered in Dallas, Texas since 2010 where she currently leads operations and drives the strategy of international programs for underserved children and families in Latin America and Africa. Rocío grew up in Dallas, Texas, and is of Mexican heritage. Her experiences in majority culture have pushed her to look deeper to understand herself and her roots better. As a result of this process, she co-founded the Brunch con Salsa podcast with two of her friends which highlights conversation around what it's like to be Latina, living between cultures in the U.S.
