Latina 50 Plus™ 2019 Nomination Form
Latina Fifty-Plus, pays tribute to Latinas over fifty years of age who were pioneers. They shaped their careers in a time when Latina women were venturing onto pathways where very few Latinas were accepted. This program acknowledges the trailblazers who were among the first in their professions. By creating this, venue that expresses public appreciation for Latina women over fifty, they will have the opportunity to tell their personal narratives. They can provide a historical perspective to have lived in a time when Latina feminism was not the norm or tolerated.
These career-minded professionals were the pioneers who fought to dispel commonly held stereotypes of Latinas, some of which are still with us today. By honoring these Latina Pioneers, we are honoring our history as women of a certain generation who laid down the stepping-stones of change for future generations of Latinas. These women mentored and inspired younger women to pursue their own dreams and realize their own goals.
