👏 Thank you to everyone who joined our fourth annual Latina Leadership Summit! 👏   The energy in that room was electric. 🔥 The connections were meaningful, and the speakers were authentic and true to themselves.   We hope you left feeling empowered, uplifted, and proud of the incredible impact Latinas are making across industries and communities.   Special thanks to our 30+ speakers, moderators and breakout leaders who brought the agenda to life and created a space for authenticity, learning, and growth.   A special appreciation to our partner Expedia Group for creating the space for connecting, and especially the LEAD team - the company’s employee resource group - who worked tirelessly to make this event a reality. 💙   We’ll be sharing more updates in the upcoming days, but for now, gratitude for everyone who joined us and for being a part of our community. We had more than 240 people attend the Summit in person and virtually – thank YOU for showing up! 🫶🏼   Let’s continue elevating and empowering more Latinas to the top! 🚀 cc: Gretel Perera Claudia Carral-Allouche Patricia L Tatis, M.

💥 Three powerhouse Latinas. One shared vision: elevating women's voices in sports, while at the same time betting on yourself. Meet the panelists for the “Game Changers: Latina Leaders in Sports” panel at the Latina Leadership Summit at Expedia Group: 🚀 Tish Galindo, Founder and CEO, Made x Us and Women Raise the Game. Over the past 15 years, Tish has built a powerhouse agency focused on building what's next in culture, business, and media. As the founder of madeXus, she’s rewriting the playbook with an AI-driven, culture-first creative agency that’s delivered award-winning work for global heavyweights like AT&T, Coca-Cola, HBO Max, Disney, Lowe’s and Expedia. She’s also the founder of Women Raise the Game, the agency’s sports media platform that debuted at Super Bowl LVIII and has since been backed by the NFL, the AUSL women’s professional softball league, and MLB. 💪🏼 Jennifer Yepez-Blundell, Co-Founder, DRAFTED A few years ago, Jennifer and her co-founder Karina Martinez saw a gap: Latinas have always been in sports —playing, coaching, leading, building—but sports have rarely made space for Latinas. Instead of waiting for change, they created DRAFTED - the first culture-driven media company to ensure Latinas are never invisible in sports again. Together, they are building something that didn’t exist: a platform that elevates, connects, and creates real opportunities for Latinas in sports, from the field to the front office to the fandom. 🏐 Andrea Nucete- Elliott, Co-Founder & CEO, TIY Products Andrea is an elite professional volleyball player originally from Venezuela who spent many years playing professional beach volleyball in Italy. She has since turned entrepreneur as the Co-Founder and CEO of TIY Products, hair ties that are perfect for athletes. Andrea is also a passionate supporter and game-day fashion icon for the Six-Time National Champions The University of Texas at Austin Women's Volleyball team. 🤘🏼 Don't miss out on this incredible conversation!
