What an absolutely delightful, inspiring and fun evening I had last night with the Emerging Latino Leaders chicagolandchamber of commerce “Orgullo Latino” fireside chat. Thank you to Sofia Rivera for putting this event together. Special shout out to moderator Jesse Hallock for the excellent questions. They may say I inspired them but to see a group of educated, ambitious and empowered Latin@s left me so hopeful for the future. #anabelaval #hispanicheritagemonth #latinos #mesdelaherenciahispana #empowerment #leadership #representationmatters #puertorico #publicspeaking
