i'm ready to tell my story
There are hundreds of folks who can get up on stage and talk. Many of them likely have the same expertise as you and can leave the audience feeling like they learned a lot.
But no one else can do what you do because no one else is you.
No one has your exact lived experience, you way of processing and interpreting situations, or your way of bringing it all together for a really impactful teaching moment.
No one has your unique perspective.
No one has your story.
the world needs to hear from folks who look, think, and experience life like you
let's change the world—together
Through the Annual Latinx + Hispanic Heritage Month Pop-up Directory, we're making a difference in the world. Every year, we feature 20-50 incredibly talented leaders in order to help amplify their stories, grow their brands, and bring more diversity to speaker lineups—both virtually and in-person.

take up space + empower others to do the same
I'll never forget those moments where I've spoken at an event or hosted one myself and heard the words from attendees that now live rent-free in my heart:
"You have no idea how good it feels for someone to finally pronounce my name properly"*
"OMG YOU'RE QUEER!!! Finally I'm not the only queer person in the room!"*
"I look forward to these [fiestas] every single week. I work my schedule around them. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and safe space for us."*
I am forever greatful for the opportunity to help others feel truly seen, welcomed, and supported by BEING in the room myself—sharing my stories and expertise.
This is the reason I created the Speaker Movement.
To bring more of our identities, our cultura, and our stories to stages across the world and empower others to boldly go after their own dreams.
*these three quotes are paraphrased from events that were not recorded
Latina Speaker, Coach, and Founder of the Speaker Movement—on a mission to help underrepresented folks confidently embrace their thought leadership and speaker identity to start a movement that creates real change in the world.
Beyond the business, you can find me embracing the small moments in life with a big glass of vino tinto, dancing bachata, and making new memories with my wife and baby boy.
