Welcome to Latina in America, your bilingual destination for all things Latina about our diverse culture, professions, and passion to travel. I am Rosie. Our special guests will share their career journeys and will take us to amazing places around the world. On some episodes, they will take you on those journeys in Spanish. Así es, en Español. So come on and join me. Let's learn and travel.
It feels so good to be here with you for a brand new season. Estoy pero super contenta. So if you have been listening, you know this is a space where we highlight stories of Latinas making an impact. And if this is your first time here, Bienvenida. Welcome. This is where culture, curiosity, and success come together. And this season, it feels different because Latinas are stepping into new spaces like never before. We are curious, we are ambitious, and we are shaping the future. These episodes are going to be about 20 minutes long that you can listen to anytime, anywhere. And this season, you will meet Latinas living in STEM, business, and culture. Women who are innovators, creators, and change makers. We will talk about how curiosity can open doors, how identity shapes opportunity, and how determination turns barriers into stepping stones.
And as you know, representation matters. Seeing a Latina scientist, an entrepreneur, or artist means more young women can imagine themselves in those roles. And for allies listening, it is a chance to learn, to support, to celebrate the rich, and the young. So I want every single listener to walk away inspired and ready to see the possibilities in their own path. So here we are starting fresh during the Hispanic Heritage Month. I am excited for the guests you will meet this season and for the powerful conversations that will remind us all of the impact of sharing our stories. So make sure you follow Latina in America so you don't miss a thing. And if today's episode spoke to you, share it with a friend, compártelo, because these stories are meant to be heard. And I invite you to listen to our sister show, Life 100 Podcast. And before ending this episode, I am bringing to you, in Spanish, así es, en español, a portion of a previous episode about the meaning and significance of the Hispanic Heritage Month.
La comunidad hispana ha sido una presencia y continúa presente a los que proclamamos de Estados Unidos como nuestra casa. Pues fíjate, yo le veo muchísima importancia y me gusta porque al reconocer más ampliamente los logros de los hispanos de Estados Unidos, pues es una cosa muy importante porque las culturas se entremezclan.
Salsa en mis venas y salsa en mi vida. Es celebrar todos los grandes profesionales y talentos. La cultura, la identidad, que es una combinación de valores, símbolos, creencias, tradiciones, de celebrar nuestros ancestros y mantener esas costumbres vivas hasta el día de hoy.
Les reconozco las aportaciones de los hispanos en Estados Unidos. O los estadounidenses de origen hispano, o que tienen las raíces en países hispanos.
En cómo nuestra comunidad continúa enriqueciendo, vale más la lista de impactos que hemos ofrecido a través del tiempo. Los negocios, las actividades comerciales, bienes raíces, entretenimiento, deportes, pequeñas empresas, grandes corporaciones que han creado fuentes de empleo. Asimismo, el crecimiento de las comedias latinas, el poder adquisitivo. Entre muchos y aun con nuestras diferencias, somos el hispano en Nueva York. Somos el hispano en Florida. Somos el hispano en Texas Somos el hispano en California. Somos una comunidad con mucho orgullo y fervor. Celebramos con baile, comida, música. Honrando los que abrieron camino y afirmando la energía que seguirá transformando camino para nuestros hijos. Esto es lo que en parte significa el mes de la hispanidad.
Bueno mi gente. As we continue celebrating this, month, let's embrace our diversity of experiences because that's the way that we break barriers and move forward. And remember, que si, si se puede.
