If anyone knows about the importance of grit and determination, it’s immigrants. Hispanic people are the fastest growing worker group in the US, and young Hispanic people attending college and universities are truly the workforce of tomorrow.

Marisela Barbosa is here today to talk about her journey supporting her community through her entrepreneurial journey, standing up for Latina voices, encouraging women to pursue civil leadership, and more!
