Conversando: Building an Ecosystem for Latina Prosperity
Latinos now make up the largest share of the Texas population. Latinas represent a vital sector of the US labor market, though they experience the largest wage gap of any major group. Will the end of DEI or the Supreme Court's decision to end Affirmative Action hinder the future of higher education for women of color? We'll hear from Texas-based organizations that are building an educational ecosystem to support an emerging generation of Latina youth in K-12 STEM education, career exploration, digital equity, and college readiness. Hear how investing in Latinas builds a resilient workforce.
