Latina Fashionista empowers Latinas in the apparel industry by sharing information about education & leadership
Latinas
Latinas are powerhouses! We are the prime decision makers for purchases in our households. And we love looking and feeling good and it shows. Latinas purchase more beauty, skin, hair products and children’s clothing than other females in the US. We can build on empowering ourselves by continuing our education and attaining college degrees.
* Key fact - Latino buying power exceeds $3.4 trillion (2024).
Fashion
Latina Fashionista programs consist of workshops and presentations held at middle schools, high schools, public libraries, and youth conferences. Lets talk fashion - education, resources, and Latina leaders in the fashion and beauty industries.
* Key fact - Latinas are under-represented in key roles
in the fashion and beauty industries.
Education
The California Department of Education data shows that more than 50% of K-12 female students are Latina. And there are more Latinas enrolled in college than Latinos. Lets keep that momentum going!
* Key fact - In California, 17% of Latinas had at least a Bachelor’s degree. You can do it!
