Latina mothers gather at the Querida Madre event to learn and share resources.
The Querida Madre event in Las Vegas focused on empowering Latina mothers facing economic challenges. Organized by Somos Votantes, the event provided resources and support to help these women navigate rising financial pressures, while also fostering entrepreneurial skills. With increasing recognition of their financial roles, the event aimed to address barriers to entrepreneurship and support families seeking stability. More gatherings are planned to continue this crucial community support.
The Querida Madre community event recently took place in Las Vegas, aimed at empowering Latina mothers amidst ongoing economic challenges. Organized by Somos Votantes, the event provided vital resources and support designed specifically for this demographic, which has faced increasing financial pressures due to rising rents and utility expenses.
Angel Lazcano, the Nevada program manager for Somos Votantes, highlighted the leadership role Latina mothers play in managing household finances, underscoring their pivotal position in navigating economic difficulties. This acknowledgement reflects a growing recognition of the importance of maternal influence in financial management within households.
The program included activities sponsored by the Las Vegas Business Incubator, which were aimed at aspiring entrepreneurs, especially those venturing into business for the first time. Participants received essential guidance on starting small businesses and obtaining the necessary licenses to operate legally.
Barriers to entrepreneurship were discussed, including the challenges many face in prioritizing professional networks and a lack of accessible support in their communities. With new polling data revealing that 67% of Latino respondents view the current economy as poor or struggling, it is evident that many families are seeking avenues to improve their financial situations.
Moreover, the polling indicated that 14% of Latinos feel financially unstable in their personal lives, further illustrating the urgency for community support and resources. Given these statistics, events like Querida Madre serve as crucial platforms to foster economic resilience and provide families with the tools they need for a more prosperous future.
The Querida Madre event is just one in a series of initiatives organized by Somos Votantes in the Las Vegas area, all part of a broader effort to foster civic engagement and empower families facing economic instability. The organization’s goal is to create resource-driven gatherings that support families with the necessary tools for achieving stability and prosperity.
In addition to this event, Somos Votantes plans to hold more gatherings throughout the year to continue providing support to the Las Vegas community. These future events are expected to further address the challenges that families encounter, offering resources and opportunities for growth in uncertain economic times.
The recent Querida Madre event signifies a proactive approach to addressing the unique challenges Latina mothers face in the current economic climate. Through community-driven support and resources, initiatives like these aim to empower women, build entrepreneurial skills, and promote economic resilience for families in Las Vegas.
