In this episode of Bause It Up, we are thrilled to feature Latina entrepreneurs, game creators, and authors, Carolina Acosta and Aralis Mejia. Known for their successful ventures—Carolina as the founder of Tragos, the card game that celebrates Latino culture, and Aralis as the founder of Silara Marketing, a creative marketing agency—the duo dives deep into their new book, "Mamá Didn't Raise a Pendeja," set to release on October 29th.

They take us on a journey through their upbringing, discussing the influence of their mothers and abuelas, the challenges and rewards of navigating the world as Latina women in business, and the cultural significance behind the bold, attention-grabbing title of their book. Carolina and Aralis explain how they balance humor, tough love, and anti-affirmations to inspire women, especially within the Latino community, to embrace their strength and resilience.
