Testimonials
"Thanks to LLI I felt like I came back to life. I started to believe in myself again. I remembered how much passion I have for so many things such as reading, learning and that I have always been thirsty for learning more and have been very curious. I learned to be confident of myself and I redefined myself again.”

“We are a new generation of Latinas who are proud in using our voice and unapologetic in exercising our power. We are proud of our heritage, where we come from, and are not afraid to continue to blaze a trail that has been set by our predecessors. We bring value to our community by being our authentic selves and staying true to who we are.”
