This week, we’re joined by Gina Zapanta, a powerhouse attorney, entrepreneur, and community advocate committed to empowering others through law, leadership, and authenticity. A proud daughter of East L.A., Gina brings her full self to every space she steps into — from the courtroom to community boards to mentorship circles.

She’s the Co-Founder of Z.A. Lawyers, ZAGives, and Empowered with Gina, a platform where she shares real and raw insights on success, resilience, and redefining legacy.

In this episode, Arianna sits down with Gina to talk about staying rooted in your mission, navigating success as a Latina in male-dominated spaces, and how giving back is central to building lasting impact.
