Unbeatable Latinas: A Rebellious Approach to Achieving Professional Succes - by Valeria Aloe (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In Unbeatable Latinas, Valeria Aloe takes us on a transformative journey. She begins by examining how ancestral cultural messages --such as «be humble, » «just work hard, » «be grateful for what you already have, » and «don't create conflict»-- have historically hindered our professional advancement, leaving many of us feeling undervalued, underpaid, or unsupported in our growth.

Aloe invites us to unlearn those cultural influences, to rebel against the remnants of machismo, colorism, and scarcity rooted in our collective unconscious, and to become courageous leaders committed to transforming our mindsets so we can radically transform our workplaces.

Throughout these pages, Aloe provides a detailed roadmap for our professional success tailored to our unique cultural needs, highlighting key catalysts for our growth such as building authentic professional brands, confidently advocating for our ideas, creating a supportive network of mentors and sponsors, and balancing multiple demands from our jobs and families. Each chapter inspires immediate action through microsteps, which, though seemingly small in the present, lead to exponential changes over time.

«This book legitimized me; it made me feel less alone in my experiences and offered me an action plan to emancipate myself from our limiting cultural beliefs. I feel seen and heard.» Sara S.
