About this Event

Join us for Latina Speaking Network: Speaking with Confidence, a dynamic and supportive network designed exclusively for Latina entrepreneurs and professionals. This is your safe space to practice public speaking, refine your pitches, and confidently share your unique stories and business visions. We'll cultivate an environment of encouragement, helping you hone your communication skills, overcome speaking anxieties, and empower your voice to resonate with impact and authenticity. Each event all attendees will get to practice their speaking skills in small groups and then to the larger group. The more you practice, the more comfortable you get with this skill. Come connect with other Latinas and learn and grow with a community that celebrates your journey and helps you shine!
