Latina Leadership Lessons: So many things going on!

Things are buzzing around Powerful Latinas and I want to share with you all the upcoming exciting things we’ll be presenting, as well as opportunities for you to get involved!

For example, there are now six podcasts for free download on the site.  Three of them are from a discussion I had with Elliott Lewis, author of Fade:  My Journeys in Multiracial America, where he talks with us (during Black History Month!) about being biracial in this country.

The other three podcasts are from a discussion I had with Dr. Ana Nogales about relationship issues among Latino couples, what are common questions she’s seen in her practice, and what advice she has for Latina women.

Also, in addition to Marcela’s Book Picks, where Marcela Landres shares with us some of her suggestions for books that surround the theme of the month, we’re also going to be hearing from Sister Outsider who will be discussing films and other shows that also deal with the theme of the month.  Look for their new suggestions in March.

Eva Plaza is starting her series as a guest blogger and will be musing about Latino politics, the early days of the Obama administration, and what we can learn from it all.

I’ll be interviewed on two radio shows next week.  On Monday, Dr. Beth Erickson will be interviewing me for her show on www.webtalkradiol.net entitled Relationships 101.  Later in the week, on Friday, I’ll be on Up Close & Personal with Bonnie D. Graham.  Check out the website calendar for more details.

Dr. Ana Nogales is asking that those of us who came from homes where one or both of our parents were unfaithful take a survey that she will be using for her new book.  Click here to find the link on the site and help out this Powerful Latina who’s offered us info from her practice this month.

The month of March we’ll be launching the theme of La Exploradora, and I’ll be talking with a variety of Latinas who work in the sciences and promote science education to youth.  Click here to see our list of upcoming guests.  This will be in conjunction with the first ever San Diego Science Festival, and if you’re anywhere in the vicinity, you need to know about all the incredible events taking place in March in San Diego.  The Festival culminates in Expo Day, at which Powerful Latinas will be hosting a booth!

And speaking of events, there will be lots of upcoming events at which I’ll be speaking and I hope to see YOU!

Make sure to sign up for our Powerful Latinas Facebook group, if you haven’t already done so to get to meet various guests and make some powerful connections.  And friend me on Facebook, too!  I’d love to get to know you better.

Don’t miss our announcements and calendar which will tell you about the upcoming National Hispana Leadership Institute Programs and the Make Mine a Million program that the Latin Business Association is working on for Latina business owners.  Click here to learn more.
