🎧 Karina is a professional photographer, speaker, and super successful podcaster devoted to helping people reclaim their cultural legacies and elevating her native Mexican culture through photography, workshops, and facilitated trips to Mexico. Her podcast @ElevatinglaCultura features stories from first and second-generation Latinas who are working hard, pursuing their passions, and pouring their positive efforts and benefits into the next generations. I have a lot of love for Karina and all the amazing work she has done for the cultura.

In this episode I fan girl for a hot minute to give flowers and say without Mari of @LatinxMarketing I would have never met Karina and without Karina’s encouragement and the support of the amazing women in the Comadre brunches networking group, this podcast would probably not exist. So go listen to her episode to get the whole story 🥹

Violeta founded Ecosistema after seeing, and experiencing so many Latinas and women of color entering leadership positions only to find that these spaces were not designed to embrace our cultura, identity or potential to create.
