OUR MISSION

We empower Latinas to unlock their potential and take action to close the gender wage gap.


Our Values


How we Began

Lean In Latinas was founded in 2013 by Anna Dapelo-Garcia and Jenny Salinas, who recognized the challenges that Latina women face in the workforce, particularly around gender and racial pay disparities. From a small group of women meeting in Mountain View, CA we have grown into a global network with a mission to empower and uplift Latinas.

Since our inception, we've hosted events in cities across the United States. In 2024, we hosted our largest Take Charge Conference at LinkedIn's Campus in Mountain View, California connecting over 250 Latinas and allies.
