It was an incredible experience representing both FounderFuego and Rich Lopez Consulting as part of the #HispanicHeritageMonth2024 panel at the JPMorganChase Imperial Beach branch, where we celebrated the rich #diversity and #entrepreneurialspirit of the #Latino community. Sharing the stage with such inspiring business owners like Sergio (Checo) D. from Gear Hugger , GABRIELA KABANDE from Gabriela Kabande Collection, Vanessa Lopez from Let Me Stamp It, Darys Avalos from Avalos Services Eduardo Cortes from BarraCruda, we spoke about our “Why,” our vision, and the values that drive our businesses forward. A huge shoutout to our moderator Adriana "Adri" Brunner for guiding such a meaningful conversation and to Anntonika Whittaker, whose community work and coordination made the event seamless. The energy from the event attendees and partners like Alejandra Arredondo, Rosalina Alvarado from NLBWA-SD, Lucy Perpuly from La Maestra Community Health Centers, and Julius Alejandro, M.S. from Village Up San Diego, PD Dr. Ingo Rohrer, Dr. Maria Lupita Moncada Laura Valdés Gabriela Hooshmand MANA de North County San Diego and soo many more ( I wish I could tag them all) was palpable as they all passed the mic. The event was a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we come together to share our stories. Latino culture isn’t just contributing to the #business world—it’s driving #innovation and #change. It was a pleasure to connect with so many like-minded individuals and see firsthand how community and resilience are shaping the future of entrepreneurship. Thank you to the One Chase team, including Peter Jackson, MBAPatrick Della and Betty Lou Santiago, and Robert Lopez, MPA,for your support in helping build stronger communities and businesses. #HispanicHeritageMonth #Entrepreneurship #CommunityImpact #JPMorganChase #OneChase #CoachingForImpact #BusinessGrowth #Expansion #SmallBusinessSuccess #LatinoEntrepreneurs

As a #CubanAmerican, who grew up in #Miami, I am incredibly proud of my heritage and our community's rich cultural contributions to this country. Celia Cruz, "La Reina de la Salsa," becoming the first #AfroLatina to appear on U.S. currency, is a historic moment that fills me with immense pride. Her legacy continues to inspire generations, and this recognition is a powerful reminder of #Latiné culture's impact on the world. At FounderFuego, my efforts are deeply rooted in the values and spirit of an #inclusive community. I am committed to empowering others, creating opportunities, and driving forward the contributions of diverse #entrepreneurs. This Celia Cruz's milestone strengthens my resolve to continue making a difference in our community and beyond. Congratulations to CELIA CRUZ FOUNDATION INC and the many inspired by her 100-year legacy (1925-2025). Celia Cruz is now ‘minted’—in the currency and hearts of all who dance to her music! ?Azúcar!
