Latinas & Power with Marilyn Alverio

59 minutes

Did you know that Latinas won't achieve equal pay until 2197 at the current rate of change?

This is not science fiction. This is a real finding from a scientific report by Latina & Power, a global network created to inspire, motivate and enable Latinas to succeed as influential leaders and advocates. According to this report, despite Latina being an economic powerhouse with over 12.9 million women in the workforce, they still earn only 55 cents on the dollar relative to white non-Latino men. These findings tell us there is still much work to do for Latinas to achieve the recognition they deserve.

To further elevate the Latina community, Latinas & Power developed a new leadership platform called The Latinas in Leadership Institute, where Latinas can continue to build skills, identify growth opportunities, tap their unique passions, and make valuable contributions to their organizations, businesses, and communities.

In this episode, I am joined by Marilyn Alverio, the founder of Latinas & Power. Marilyn earned her B.A. from the University of CT. in Storrs, CT, and later an M.B.A. from the University of Phoenix. Marilyn has worked in the corporate arena for over twenty years, where she has held numerous management positions within the airlines, pharmaceutical, education, financial, and health insurance industries. As a recognized multicultural marketing professional, Marilyn has led numerous companies and businesses through strategic marketing and branding strategies that help grow the business.
