You’re Lonely, Even When You’re Surrounded by People. Being a trailblazer is lonely. You’re often in spaces where no one else looks like you or understands your experiences. Even when you’re surrounded by people You might feel isolated because they don’t truly?see?you. The hard truth? You need community Real Authentic community?where you can let your guard down and just?be. But building that kind of community takes time and vulnerability. It’s scary to open up when you’re used to being the strong one. Here’s the thing You don’t have to do it alone. There are incredible organizations out there creating spaces for Latinas to connect, grow, and thrive together. Here are a few that have been?transformative?for me and so many others: ???Lean In Latinas– A sisterhood of Latinas supporting each other in leadership, career growth, and personal development. ???Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE)?– Empowering Latinas to become leaders in politics, business, and beyond. ???Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley?– Advocating for Latinas to grow their leadership and creating opportunities for us to rise and thrive. ???Techqueria?– A national organization supporting Latinx professionals in tech through community, resources, and advocacy. ???Latinas in Tech?– A global community dedicated to empowering Latinas in the tech industry through mentorship, networking, and career development. These organizations are more than just networks They’re lifelines. They remind us that we’re not alone Even when it feels like it. So, if you’ve been feeling isolated I want to encourage you to take that first step. Reach out. Join a community. Show up, even when it feels scary. You don’t have to be the strong one all the time. You don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. And you?definitely?don’t have to do this alone. Let’s build each other up Celebrate our wins And hold space for each other’s struggles. Because together we are much stronger than you think. So, tell me What communities have been a lifeline for you? Or if you’re still searching What’s one step you can take today to find your people? Let’s remind each other:?No estás sola.
