Do you have Latina power?

Well, do you? You might want to grab a copy of Latina Power!: Using 7 Strengths You Already Have to Create the Success You Deserve by Dr. Ana Nogales and see how many of the seven traits of a Latina are running through your veins. Do any of these fit you?

Espíritu Creativo (Creative Spirit)
The Aguantadora’s (Survivor’s) Passionate Determination
The Comadre’s (Girlfriend’s) Networking Ability
The Diplomática’s (Diplomat’s) Discretion
The Atrevida’s (Risktaker’s) Courage
The Malabarista’s (Multitasker’s) Balance
La Reina’s (A Diva’s) Confidence

If not, you can take a few pointers from Dr. Nogales as well as a host of other powerful and high-standing Latinas who know how to work it. Chicas like Isabelle Allende, the Chilean novelist, TV journalist and Latina Oprah Cristina Saralegui, Congresswomen Loretta and Linda Sánchez, Latina magazine founder Christy Haubegger, and of course show business vet Jaci Velásquez.

These women are all exemplary, and what’s more, their life experiences can help guide you towards your own path to great success and slamming Latina power.
