How great it feels to end March the way we have at BELatina!

During the last week of Women’s History Month, we’ve taken the ball out of the ballpark with incredible stories about women who are changing the rules of the game.

Journalists, Latinas at NFT, community organizers, and many more wonderful stories have populated our platform, and we couldn’t be prouder.

From JennyLee Molina’s work to Sonia Sroka’s advice on the benefits of social media for women entrepreneurs, these are the best stories of the week.

Bold and unconventional, the Latina journalists you know and grew up with are not only the voice of a nation but, most importantly, ours. We confide in them to be our eyes and ears on the zeitgeist so that we can understand things from a more inclusive and less mainstream point of view. There are so many trailblazers out there, but here are some of the few you may have heard of.

From the Aztecs to the Mayans to the Spaniards to today’s global markets, cocoa has always been valuable. While its cultivation methods from the colonial trade times have left farmers often in poverty, the future of cocoa could actually be that of an economic powerhouse for Latin American countries. This is the vision of Janett and Érika Liriano, two Afro-Latina sisters who have recently broken venture capital records for their redesigning of the cacao supply chain market that ensures ethical sourcing and fair wages to Dominican farmers.
