Welcome to a new chapter of the Global GoalsCast, where we dive deep into empowering stories that drive change. I'm Claudia Romo Edelman, and I'm thrilled to introduce our exciting new focus. We're evolving, but we're not saying goodbye. Over the past five years, we've highlighted those making a positive impact worldwide. Now, we're shifting our spotlight to address a pressing issue, diversity and inclusion for Latinas in the corporate world.

Join us on "A LA LATINA: THE PLAYBOOK TO SUCCEED BEING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF." We believe in the power of our voices to challenge stereotypes, break barriers, and create a more inclusive world where Latina women can thrive. Our goal is not only to inspire but also to provide real tools and directions for success in the corporate world.

I'm joined by my new co-host, Cynthia Kleinbaum Milner, a seasoned marketing executive with over 20 years in the corporate world. As a Latina herself, she understands the challenges we face. Less than 2% of senior executives in major companies are Latinas, despite representing 9% of the US population. Cynthia's experiences and insights will be invaluable as we explore topics like multicultural marketing, identity, and inspiring stories.

Our podcast, "A LA LATINA," is the authentic playbook you need to succeed while staying true to yourself. We'll feature accomplished Latina women who've shattered glass ceilings at companies like Nestle, Verizon, the NFL, and Morgan Stanley. We'll provide actionable advice to help you carve your path to success.

This is just the beginning of our journey. We hope you'll join us and help us spread the word. Success for us means Latina women holding 9% of executive roles and board seats in corporate America. Stay tuned, and let's start leading Latina.
