A network of Latinas, truly vested in building each other up and celebrating life’s moments together. It’s unlike any other group I’ve come across. Latinas in Power are my go-to!“

“Latinas in Power is more than an organization for women, it's a force. It's a group whose collaborative talents have helped my Notary business on more than one occasion. I have reached out to the group for help with social media marketing, website design, and signing witnesses; each time getting the assistance I requested and making friends in the process. I am so proud of this group of women and what it represents.

About our Founder Ericka Aviles
As a marketing professional with more than 15 years of professional experience in international sales and business management, Ericka Aviles realized there was no outlet serving her demographic. In the absence of a network that catered to Latina women, she decided to create Latinas In Power to serve this untapped market. Ericka also has her own consulting company Ericka Aviles Consulting focused on connecting businesses, organizations, and government agencies with the Las Vegas community. A product of the Las Vegas community, Ericka specializes in bridging culture and language gaps between her clients and the audiences they serve through innovative marketing, and outreach initiatives. www.erickaaviles.com |
