Coming Soon
Prepare to be inspired by a powerful evening that celebrates amistad, coraje, and the unstoppable spirit of Latina leadership.
Dos Marías: A Conversation on Friendship, Activism, and Leadership Lessons for Future Latina Leaders brings together two extraordinary mujeres — Maria Antonietta Berriozábal and Maria del Rosario Castro (Rosie) — for an intimate and moving conversation about friendship, activism, and the journeys that have paved the way for so many of us.
Their stories remind us that leadership is rooted in community, courage, and corazón.
This is more than an event — it’s a moment to honor our past, celebrate our present, and inspire the next generation of Latina leaders.
Stay tuned — registration opens in December! ✨
Seats will be limited for this unforgettable gathering hosted by Hispanas Unidas.
Past Events
A Seat at the Table: Preparing Latinas for Boards & Commissions
On September 27, 2025, over 60 women gathered with Hispanas Unidas at the Alamo College District Boardroom in San Antonio for an inspiring workshop designed to prepare Latinas for leadership on boards and commissions. Attendees gained practical tools, confidence, and connections to step into roles that shape our community.
The event featured powerful insights from Olga Kauffman, Councilwoman Ivalis Meza Gonzalez, Bernadette Peña, and Monica Crus, Ph.D., whose wisdom and encouragement empowered participants to claim their rightful place at the decision-making table. With energy, collaboration, and stories shared, the workshop celebrated the strength of community and the importance of representation.
This memorable afternoon reinforced the mission of Hispanas Unidas: building more seats, amplifying more voices, and creating lasting impact where it matters most.
