10/22/24 • 32 min
Hola Corporate Cafecito Community!
In today's episode of Corporate Cafecito, I am joined by Wendy Perez-Contreras. Wendy is an amazing Latine who came to the United States at just four years old. She shares her inspiring journey of overcoming challenges and pursuing her dreams, from leaving one country to attending Brown University. Like many Latines, Wendy faced obstacles, such as financial struggles and cultural expectations, but with the support of her family, church, and community, she achieved her goals.
Her story is not just about getting into an Ivy League school; it's a testament to the incredible power of community, the resilience of culture, and the love that sustains us through tough times. Wendy's journey reminds us that it's possible to dream big and make life choices while staying true to oneself. Family and community play crucial roles, and her story is a beautiful reminder of the value of community support. You are not alone in your journey; some people believe in you.
Whether you're applying to college or envisioning your future, this episode is for you. Your dreams are essential; you deserve to sit in any room or table.
Join us for this impactful conversation, and remember, education is not just a tool; it's a shield that no one can ever take away from you. It's your armor, protection, and key to a brighter future.
Dream big and know that you have a community supporting you. Listen now and share it with someone who could use some encouragement today.

Preserving Our Stories with Omar Álvarez
I had an amazing conversation with Omar Álvarez, the founder of KINNECT, on our latest episode of Corporate Cafecito! Omar is a visionary entrepreneur who is passionate about preserving cultural legacies.
KINNECT's unique ability to capture and preserve our family's legacy in various forms- audio, video, or text- sets it apart. This makes it easy for us to share our meaningful moments with future generations, fostering a deeper connection with our loved ones.
Omar faced challenges while building his dream, but his resilience and commitment have paid off. He is passionate about using KINNECT to foster family connections, reminding us that our stories matter and deserve to be shared.
As someone who deeply values the emotional power of storytelling and the importance of preserving cultural heritage, I immediately connected with Omar's vision. KINNECT encourages us to reflect on both the joyful and challenging moments in life, strengthening our bonds with our loved ones.
I’m excited about the cultural legacy we can create for our future families. It’s time to gather our stories, share our laughter, and even our tears. Let’s build something beautiful together!
