It is extremely valuable to join a community, with similar background and experiences, where one can freely bounce ideas or discuss difficulties. Thanks to Mucho Amor and Unqork, I’ve felt most welcome in my first tech role as a career-changing afro-latina.
Being part of Mucho Amor, to me, means helping to build a community and holding space for the members of the community to express themselves, learn, and grow both personally and professionally - as well as to add some fun and flavor to folks’ days!
It’s no secret that less than 2% of Latinas hold roles in STEM in the US. As a proud first-generation Cuban-American, and the first Latina in tech in my family, I am so grateful to have comunidad here at Unqork with Mucho Amor. From weekly cafecitos to a work-familia I can always count on, our Latinx ERSG is creating the representation that I wish I could have seen growing up. We cannot become what we cannot see; proud to help change the ratio.
I am proud to be the executive sponsor of Mucho Amor and supporting the LatinX community at Unqork. We have a passionate team that wants to expand the opportunities for LatinX individuals and make a real difference in the community.
