Maria Eugenia Price
As a
Latina coming to the U.S. from Mexico City at a young age,
Maria Eugenia Price knows first hand the challenges in
integrating into American society and creating a
self-identity that would shine from within and exude all
that it means to be a proud Latina. From personal
experiences, Maria Eugenia quickly learned that although
many opportunities for Hispanic women exist in the
workplace, many Latinas are still limited by language and
cultural barriers that keep them disconnected with what is
available in terms of self-development, education and
financial opportunities. Maria Eugenia believes that to
truly succeed, Latinas must grow themselves both emotionally
and intellectually – from the inside out!
