"Latinas Rising Up in HR Vol. II" Spanish Version contains many stories of Latina HR professionals succeeding in their field despite the challenges.

"Latinas Rising Up In HR," author and Chicago-native, now Miami-based Human Resources Leader Priscilla Guasso is releasing a Spanish version of "Latinas Rising Up In HR, Volume II."

MIAMI, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Latinas Rising Up In HR," author and Chicago-native, now Miami-based Human Resources Leader Priscilla Guasso is releasing a Spanish version of "Latinas Rising Up In HR, Volume II."

The book, published by Fig Factor Media, presents inspirational stories of 15 aspiring human resources (HR) professionals who boldly overcame obstacles and defied statistics to achieve their dreams in corporate America, nonprofit, government and as entrepreneurs. The series, which comprises of four books—Volumes I and II in English and Spanish, began in the fall of 2020, as a way for Guasso to connect with purpose-driven HR professionals looking to change the future of leadership.

“Hearing the stories of Latina published authors from different stages of their HR careers created a ripple effect in the desires for Latina HR leaders at all levels."

Post this

The Spanish versions of the book let Guasso and the authors directly connect with Latinx audiences.

"Since the launch of Volume 2 at our inaugural Leadership Summit in October of last year we heard from over 135 Latinas in HR share how important it was that this movement continue to be more than that," Guasso said. "Hearing the stories of Latina published authors from different stages of their HR careers created a ripple effect in the desires for Latina HR leaders at all levels. We had quite a few attendees that flew in for the summit share how they had never met high-ranking Latinas in HR and that seeing it is believing it. They're now eager believing in their hearts that they can move up to become the next Chief Human Resources Office (CHRO)."

The participating authors are the following:

  • Catherine O'Connell, Regional VP, Human Resources, Latin America & Caribbean (preface writer)
  • Angelica Patlán, People Operations Partner
  • Angelica Herrera-Lopez, Senior Human Resources Partner
  • Arely Lagunas, HR Consultant
  • Ariana J. Paz, Director, Human Resources Business Partner
  • Arlene Nairn, Corporate Director of Human Resources
  • Arlene Rodriguez, Senior Manager, HR Business Partner
  • Brenda Sanchez Pineda, Director, Human Resources
  • Carolina M. Veira, VP of Partnerships, CSR, DEI
  • Joselin Zeneida Sanz, HR Generalist
  • Kayla Castro Kruger, Area Recruiting Manager
  • Monica Cristal Gaona, HR Director
  • Stefanie Furniss, Talent Acquisition Manager
  • Vanessa Durán, Employee Relations Specialist
  • Yared S. Oliveros, Senior Diversity Equity and Inclusion Business Partner
  • Priscilla Guasso, HR Leader, Speaker, Author and Founder

Partial proceeds of this book will fund their student and professional-specific scholarships:

  • Latinas Rising Up in HR Student Scholarship offered to college students
  • Latinas Rising Up in HR Professional Scholarship offered to professionals with two to seven years' experience

Guasso explained how these scholarship have made a significant impact. In 2022, six scholarships totaling $6,000 were awarded to help young women pursue success in human resource careers. One previous scholarship winner decided to become an author in the book series to further inspire her community.

"It's time we break that stereotype of Latinas and Latinos not 'helping' our community," she said. "You won't see that with us because our foundation is based on a firm purpose where 'Together We Rise.'"
Guasso plans on having Vol. III in English and Spanish by the end of 2023.

"With the lack of representation of Latinas in HR in executive roles, this volume will heavily focus on senior leaders in the HR function," she explained. "We'll learn tips and advice from leaders that have seen it all personally and professionally. How did they get to the 'top office' and what is next for them in their HR journey. You won't want to miss it!"
