There are so many reasons that my life could have followed a different path - I am a woman, a Latina, who grew up in a poor neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. I am grateful for the champions in my life who encouraged me despite the many obstacles. Every morning for 18 years, my father would start our day with twenty jumping jacks and then ask us to repeat the same words... “Today is going to be a great day. I can and I will.” That mantra of effort and determination sticks with me to this day. No matter how tough it gets…. No matter what we endure… We can persevere… Today is going to be a great day. I can and I will! Thank you to Jordan Selleck of 51 Labs for allowing me the opportunity to share my story. #privateequity #womeninbusiness #inspiration
