Women Who Inspire Us!

March 08, 2022

We, at SVL, are delighted to feature our annual video of the women who inspire us. Each year we select a group of women whom we have highlighted and/or followed during the year & who inspire us by the work they lead and the impact they are having on those around them. From high tech to finance to nonprofits to entrepreneurs to education, Latinas are continuing to make a positive impact within our society across the USA.

We invite you view this year's selection.

Happy International Women's Day & Women's History Month!
