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: “The U.S. Latino GDP hit $4.1 trillion in 2023, showing once again that it equates to the fifth-largest GDP in the world.” https://latinogdp.us
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 17% of Latinas had at least a bachelor’s degree. Let’s keep that momentum going!
* Key fact: From 2010 to 2023, the number of Latinos with a bachelor’s degree grew 3.1 times more rapidly than Non-Latinos. https://latinogdp.us
