Although she is Cuban this woman fights for girl power and woman’s rights. A true powerful leader in my book and someone any woman especially Latina’s can look up to.

Be a patient/positive influence for troubled youth(latinas) in school

Hello Ladies I come to you today with another topic that has been striking my interest for quite some time. At this moment I am focusing on the younger generation of Latinas and other children.
