Eight remarkable Latina women share their stories about finding balance, becoming influencers, growing into leadership, starting entreprenerial businesses and embracing opportunities they never imagined.
In this empowering guide, Dr. Ana Nogales encourages Latinas to move beyond their expected roles and become the women they wish to be by embracing the seven traits they inherit naturally from their Latino culture: Espíritu Creativo (Creative Spirit) The Aguantadora's (Survivor's) Passionate Determination The Comadre's (Girlfriend's) Networking Ability The Diplomática's (Diplomat's) Discretion The Atrevida's (Risktaker's) Courage The Malabarista's (Multitasker's) Balance La Reina's (A Diva's) Confidence Each chapter features an interactive element, including a quiz to determine how strong each attribute is in the reader's own personality, plus exercises to reinforce each trait. Filled with the personal stories of successful Latinas, including novelist Isabelle Allende, TV journalist Cristina Saralegui, Congresswomen Loretta and Linda Sánchez, Latina magazine founder Christy Haubegger, and entertainer Jaci Velásquez, Latina Power inspires readers to vigorously pursue their own dreams.

In researching single-gender education, higher numbers of Latina educational leaders were found to have been in administrative positions indicating a strong sense of leadership skills. Further exploration found there is much literature about academic achievement among female students in a single-gender class (Ward & Grant, 1985; Mead, 2003), but there is not much literature regarding the development of leadership skills among females, specifically Latinas (Louque & Garcia, 2000). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the development, specifically leadership development and empowerment of Latinas, who attended a single-gender high school and who are now educational leaders. This was attained by utilizing a narrative design to explore how and when Latinas developed leadership skills. Initially, participants were interviewed, and then transcribed and uploaded to NVivo 9 for data analysis. Further analysis took place through the utilization of a LatCrit Feminist theory. The themes revealed through data analysis were: empowerment through leadership opportunities, community service experiences, family involvement, culture identity development, caring nurturing environment and providing mentors. The participants' experiences discussed the importance of positive opportunities and experiences leading to a fostering environment for Latinas.

The Sí, Yo Puedo (SYP) program manual is a step-by-step, culturally specific, 11-week curriculum for Spanish-English graduate level licensed mental health professionals (e.g., clinical social workers, professional counselors, family and marriage therapists, psychologists). Sí, Yo Puedo is Yes, I Can in English. The empowerment program is designed to provide education, promote self-esteem, prevent domestic violence, and help readers understand healthy relationships within a cultural framework. Participants meet weekly for two hours and examine topics addressing issues related to immigrant Latina women's sense of self, characteristics of healthy relationships and dating, keys to understanding the dynamics of domestic violence, and ways to access resources. The program manual includes structured sessions with goals and objectives, in-class self-reflection drawing and writing exercises, and handouts for the weekly topics. Upon completion of the SYP program, immigrant Latinas and Latinas in general will be empowered to examine current relationships and their self-esteem, and to potentially make changes in their lives.
