Details:
The Latina Entrepreneur Academy (LEA) is a part of the LULAC Women’s Empowerment (WE) Initiative designed to train, motivate, and inspire women, especially those of Hispanic descent, to succeed in all aspects of life. The Latina Entrepreneur Academy focuses on providing women with resources and helping them build the skillset necessary to launch or enhance their businesses.
The Latino community has an entrepreneurial spirit that they see largely in local immigrant communities. Immigrant communities bring much of their culture through food, artisanal items such as clothing and art, and much more. Many individuals turn their passion and culture into businesses that provide many with comforts from home.
Through this initiative, they hope to nurture this entrepreneurial spirit and provide support to driven Latinas who seek to launch and/or expand business endeavors.
