What Latina trailblazer has inspired you? As Latinas, it is so important to see ourselves represented in successful positions and have the confidence that we can achieve or be anything we want in life. 

The book Grandes Dreamers, written by Argelia Atilano and illustrated by Anna Alvarado, is a children's book that covers the stories of twelve Latina trailblazers who have accomplished incredible careers and reached groundbreaking milestones. It’s invaluable for our children to be empowered when they see Latinas accomplishing their dreams. 

In this episode, I am joined by three amazing women, Rose Ann Djelmane, Anna Alvarado, Argelia Atilano. Rose Ann is SVP Neighborhood Lending Production Manager for a national bank and an accomplished senior manager with diverse management experience. Argelia was the leading female voice of El Show de Omar y Argelia on K-Love 107.5 FM in Los Angeles, California for a total of 20 years until its recent end. Anna is a Latinx artist and storyteller with her paintings and drawings that capture her experience as a Latinx woman in the US. Together, these three women have written, illustrated, and created the children’s book Grandes Dreamers.
