In this empowering guide, Dr. Ana Nogales encourages Latinas to move beyond their expected roles and become the women they wish to be by embracing the seven traits they inherit naturally from their Latino culture:
Espiritu Creativo (Creative Spirit)
The Aguantadora's (Survivor's) Passionate Determination
The Comadre's (Girlfriend's) Networking Ability
The Diplomatica's (Diplomat's) Discretion
The Atrevida's (Risktaker's) Courage
The Malabarista's (Multitasker's) Balance
La Reina's (A Diva's) Confidence
Each chapter features an interactive element, including a quiz to determine how strong each attribute is in the reader's own personality, plus exercises to reinforce each trait. Filled with the personal stories of successful Latinas, including novelist Isabelle Allende, TV journalist Cristina Saralegui, Congresswomen Loretta and Linda Sanchez, Latina magazine founder Christy Haubegger, and entertainer Jaci Velasquez, Latina Power inspires readers to vigorously pursue their own dreams.
