mujeres on the rise

If you know me and have been following Ellas Media since the very beginning you know that I fully support Mujeres on the Rise and it’s founder, Melba Tellez. Not only is her story inspiring, she is a mujer who creates actions to help Latinas and myself rise in our careers. Most recently she launched her Rising Resume Course, a step-by-step guide to help Latinas create a winning resume, standing out as an applicant, getting interviews, and landing their dream job! If you want to rise in your career or want to help a fellow Latina, then don’t miss out on the holiday sale to get 10% off by using code HOLIDAY.

Add some cuteness and holiday cheer to your life by buying all your stickers, office supplies, and greeting cards from Hola Mijas Bonitas! Claudia Ramos is a Latina who I admire as a role model, amiga, and women is making powerful moves to share joy to others and our comunidad. I already bought my Holiday stickers for this year to gift to my friends and family.

spanish sin pena

As a proud Latina who loves our cultura, lenguaje and tradiciones, I’m a BIG supporter of Spanish Sin Pena’s important work to help Latino professionals speak Spanish Sin Pena! What I love about their program is that it’s created for Latinx's & allies that want to learn & reclaim Spanish. Having Spanish as part of your heritage, they recognize that learning it can be a lot to process. A lot comes up around identity, family, cultura, racisim, assimilation etc. Their mission is to continue creating and building a safe place for you to learn & practice. They have helped over 1k Latino professionals to no feel isolated and learn Spanish without fear, judgement & shame. You can sign up for their Winter/Spring Waitlist here to start reclaiming our language!

yayitzel

I LOVE Yayitzel’s adorable holiday cards. I love getting them for my amigas and my boyfriend. Not only does it brighten up their day, but it makes me happy that I get to gift them cute cards and stickers that fully represent my Mexican upbringing and cultura! I resonate with Itzel Islas’ inspiring story of choosing her mental health and happiness by focusing on Yayitzel and sharing her joyful illustrations, stickers, and merch to us all! Don’t miss out on purchasing her cute products, they sell out fast (as they should!) I was too slow on getting her Feliz Navidad Cactus Card. So run don’t walk!

talía cu

I admire Talía Cu and it was an honor to have her as a guest on the podcast! It was a dream come true and it makes me so happy that she’s sharing her talent and knowledge by providing consulting calls to creative mujeres who want to find clarity in their creative path. She currently offers three types of programs and trust me you are in good hands. With her impressive background of working in Vogue México, Bumble, Fendi, Lancôme, and Karl Lagerfeld, you will grow in this beautiful profession that is illustration!

fearlessyaya

Sandra Lucía is a mujer who isn’t afraid to go after her dreams! That inspires me to go after mine and with her inspiring illustrations of powerful Latinas who do the same is a great reminder for you to continue paving your journey. Celebrate your holidays and start your 2022 with her phenomenal illustrations! I do recommend that to get your gifts by Navidad to place your orders before the 1st of December, as we all know last year there was huge holiday delays because of covid restrictions and limited flights. So hurry!

bilingual birdies

It’s never too late to teach our young generation to be multilingual! I love the important work that Sarah Farzam is doing for the next generation through Bilingual Birdies. The great part is that Bilingual Birdies builds cultural bridges by teaching young children Spanish, French, Mandarin, and English through music and movement. Make a positive impact in the lives of the young ones in your life by signing them up for a class!

carra

I LOVE artisan jewelry! If you want to capture my heart forever, then gift me an artistan AND Mexican made jewelry, even better if it’s from CARRA. Carri, my creative amiga, artist, and co-founder of CARRA has such a unique eye when it comes to designing these beautiful pieces. The best part is that they offer free delivery in Mexico City! So, gift someone you cherish one of these magical boxes that CARRA offers 3 beautiful glass-made jewelry pieces.

the latinista

Elevate your career with The Latinista’s workshops! When Yai Vargas shared with me her work through The Latinista on the podcast, Ellas, I knew that our comunidad was in the right hands through the workshops that help mujeres and women of color create, share, and develop their careers with intention and clear goals! As of now you can replay these informative workshops starting at $10! Don’t miss out!
