Sometimes, the best way to handle our shit and deal with our insecurities and doubts about what we can do or where we belong as Latinas is as simple as showing up. 

In another flashback from the vault this week, I revisit the interviews with Azucena Maldonado, the golf Queen, and Danay Escanaverino. Azucena, an immigrant from northern Mexico, inspired a movement that has taken over the world of golf. She noticed the lack of feminine presence in the sport and decided to change the sport's landscape, getting involved and creating opportunities for Latinas that transcended the sport. She opened the doors and inspired thousands of badass Latinas to get involved in golf. She is the Founder and CEO of LGA, the Latinas Golfers Association, which has over 2,000 members.

Danay is a Cuban immigrant, a Latina Entrepreneurs speaker, CEO and founder of LunaSol Media, and founder of LatinaMeetup. She was responsible for developing an integrated marketing plan to combine a suite of merged brands for a large interactive marketing agency and break into the online Hispanic and Latino markets.

Throughout our conversation, we learn about Azucena's experiences joining a male-dominated sport and discovering the opportunities she could provide for women in the space, not only as golfers but also as businesswomen and entrepreneurs. Danay shared details of her unique career path and her voracious drive to learn new things that drove her into the tech marketing space. That road would open countless doors for her professional development and teach her everything she needed to learn to become an entrepreneur.
