Читать книгу Latinx Business Success - Frank Carbajal - Страница 7

This is an important book at this moment in time as the U.S. Latino population becomes increasingly accountable for the economic well‐being of our country. Frank Carbajal learned about economic accountability early in his life while helping his parents make ends meet. His experiences as the son of migrant agricultural workers provides the foundation for this book, which begins with his own story of his journey from a one‐bedroom home for his family of seven in El Centro, California, to his successful career in the Silicon Valley.

Carbajal then does the same for many successful Latino and Latina individuals who also came from humble beginnings, faced economic and racist hardships, but found the inner strength to persevere and achieve their dreams. The reader is taken on personal journeys of exemplary leaders in a broad spectrum of sectors of our society.

The author attempts to weave a thread through all of the stories regarding the qualities these role models possess that can be an inspiration to young Latinos and Latinas seeking to find their own way to success. He also calls out his own perspectives, as well as those of his subjects in this book, on what is needed in America to foster the success of this cohort, and to realize the full potential of U.S. Latinos across the country in every sector of our economy.

I believe Frank Carbajal's hope in compiling these inspiring stories is for you, the reader, to find the whole of this book to be greater than the sum of its parts.
