Today's Inspired Latina is a book of inspiration and hope, a poignant collection of personal stories that will activate your passion. These are success stories that need to be told, to motivate our community and generations to come. By overcoming language barriers, self-doubts and other obstacles in their way, these strong Latinas are a great example of how inspiration and perseverance can lead you to happiness and success in business and life. It's a positive, empowering read for anyone sitting on a dream and thinking it can't come true. Today's Inspired Latina shows that it can Introduction Sometimes in life you have an experience that is so amazing, you just have to share it When I published my first book, my life changed. Six books later, not a day goes by that I don't receive a text or email from someone who tells me how my story has helped or inspired them. I am humbled by their accolades. I have also had the pleasure of meeting a number of young Latinas, once like me, setting forth in the world full of promise and dreams. Often times they don't have a role model or mentor to guide them in the right direction towards success; they experience financial difficulties or lack of support. It was witnessing these challenges that inspired me to start The Fig Factor Foundation to help them "unleash the amazing." In addition, through my company, JJR Marketing, I have met many strong, inspiring Latinas who came from a similar place, yet persevered through language barriers, cultural and educational obstacles as well as their own self-limiting beliefs to rise to positions of authority and success. One day I realized that theirs were the stories that needed to be told. Their stories will provide hope and inspiration to the next generation of Latinas that need to believe they could achieve their own success. I am proud to be a catalyst to capture the beauty and essence of these incredible Hispanic women while creating an emotional touchstone for their younger Hispanic sisters. For while I believe everyone has a story to tell, the reality is that becoming a book author can be an intimidating prospect. I completely understand that the expense, time commitment and process of authorship can be completely discouraging. That's why "Today's Inspired Latina" is such an important project. As contributors, these wonderful Latinas are able to impart their story, grow their dreams and activate the next generation and every individual reader. These authors have crossed more than borders to create a place of contentment in the world. I'm confident everyone can learn from their experiences, whether or not you are Latina. Jacqueline Camacho
