Co-Author Jennifer Franco Extraordinary Latinas Vol III: Shattering Barriers and Driving Change "Paving Pathways to Empowerment" Chapter

New book unveils the inspiring stories of Extraordinary Latinas who triumphed over challenges, shattered barriers, pursued their dreams, challenged the status quo, embraced their identities, and demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

Through her professional journey, Jennifer Franco, Founder and President of Fempreneur Poder Hub, discovered the strength that comes with resilience and never giving up.

Jennifer, a resilient first-generation Latina from Chicago, defied adversity to emerge as a beacon of hope in her community. Rising above challenges in an unsupportive educational environment and navigating the hardships of a single-mother household, Jennifer found inspiration in key mentors who fueled her professional and educational journey. With over five years in academia, her roles in various institutions reflect her passion for mentorship and community upliftment. As a teenage mom, her resilience exemplifies her commitment to redefining narratives for underserved communities. A passionate entrepreneurial leader, she symbolizes empowerment, equity, and transformation. The Fempreneur Poder Hub, born from Jennifer's journey, addresses systemic challenges faced by Latina entrepreneurs, providing education, resources, tools, and a support network to turn entrepreneurial visions into reality. This nonprofit embodies la esperanza for change, representing Jennifer's lifelong dedication as a changemaker uplifting others.

"How could I stand out? Moreover, how could I empower other women facing similar challenges to stand out as well? We may lack the right connections but have grit, drive, talent, and wisdom. I yearned for establishing a space where we could unite, collaboratively elevating and connecting one another." shares Jennifer.

Through her story, Jennifer aims to share the lessons she has been through. "People often ask how I persevered through those challenges, and I think it's important to share that what kept me going was a deep sense of wanting to succeed and feeling supported by everyone who came before me."
