On today's Elevating Pikes Peak Women, Host Mary Lou
Makepeace brings the leadership of The
Latina Equity Foundation to discuss the
groundbreaking work they are doing to create a successful and
equitable present and future for Latina women.
After reviewing research from
the American Association of University Women (AAUW), Colorado
universities, and El Paso County Department of Health studies, a
group of strong Latina leaders joined to address the economic
disparity and cultural inequity of treatment of Latina women and
formed The Latina Equity
Foundation. Foundation Chair and
co-founder Jackie Jaramillo, Chair of the
Economic Success Initiative Jacqueline (Jax)
Armendariz, and Education Chair Dora
Gonzalez outline the founding of the
organization and the initiatives being worked on to CHANGE THE
NARRATIVE for Latinas in our region.
