This past week, Latinitas had the true privilege of being in the presence of Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy, Elizabeth Allen. A true visionary, and inspiring woman working in the US Department of State to make a positive change in the world. Following her inspiring SXSW panel with Latina musician Gina Chavez, Latinitas was able to speak with her on the importance of Music Diplomacy, her exciting feelings about emerging technology, and so much more. Please enjoy our conversation with the inspiring Elizabeth Allen. 

Latinos now make up the largest share of the Texas population. Latinas represent a vital sector of the US labor market, though they experience the largest wage gap of any major group. Will the end of DEI or the Supreme Court's decision to end Affirmative Action hinder the future of higher education for women of color? We'll hear from Texas-based organizations that are building an educational ecosystem to support an emerging generation of Latina youth in K-12 STEM education, career exploration, digital equity, and college readiness. Hear how investing in Latinas builds a resilient workforce.
