Rojas Saldana said the book is intended to inspire and empower Latinas to stand up and realize they can achieve whatever they put their mind to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u201cMost Latinas feel they\u2019re not being listened to or supported because their values do not align to the corporate culture\u201d, said Rojas Saldana in an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/malatinonews.com\/americas-latina-leadership-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview&nbsp;<\/a>with MALatinoNews.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">61-percent of women said they were conflicted between meeting the demands of home and the demands of the family during the COVID-19 pandemic, reveals a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/yourstory.com\/herstory\/2021\/03\/work-life-balance-pandemic-burdened-women-men\/amp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a>&nbsp;by SCIKEY Market Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: ...
