4If you're looking for a book about how to get your next promotion or become a so-called leader in the workplace, well this is NOT that book. But, if you're looking for a book about courage and struggle, about rising from the ashes of failure, about stepping into your power as a woman and a leader, then THIS book is for you. In Latina Empowerment Through Leadership, 8 women of color come together to share stories, untold secrets and life lessons about what it truly means to be a mindful leader. In these pages, you'll hear from women - Who have found self-love in the darkest of times, - Who have built businesses and failed before they found success, - Who have started over after broken relationships, - Who have fought tirelessly to build a life they love. You see leadership isn't about a job title. Leadership is about persever-ance, and knowing that you can empower yourself and come through ANY struggle. It's about knowing that "your place" is wherever the hell you want it to be, if you are willing to put in the work to get there. Leadership is a journey and a choice. We hope that as you read our stories, you realize that we are very much like you... and that you too, can lead.
