What does it mean to celebrate your heritage while also challenging your community to keep growing?
Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to honor the traditions, values, sacrifices, and accomplishments that have shaped generations of Latinos. But celebrating how far we've come can also mean looking honestly at where there's still room to grow. From family and cultural pride to entrepreneurship, innovation, opportunity, and finding the courage to think differently, this conversation is about embracing everything that makes the Latino community powerful while imagining what comes next.
Tune in to this new episode of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, as Jackie and Marissa celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with an honest conversation about Latino culture, success, and the future of the community. They reflect on the traditions and values they are proud to carry forward, the growth of Latino entrepreneurship, and the challenges entrepreneurs still face when it comes to funding, resources, and creating scalable businesses. They also explore the importance of encouraging the next generation to think bigger, bringing more Latino voices into mainstream spaces, moving beyond narratives centered only on struggle, and creating room for different perspectives within the community. It's a conversation about honoring where we come from while continuing to build, innovate, speak up, and redefine what's possible.
