Braid Your Roots: Building Leadership From Lived Experience

About this episode

Pam Covarrubias explores the concept of 'rooted authority' for first-generation Latina leaders, sharing personal stories and insights.

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam kicks off quarter two with an empowering deep dive into the concept of "rooted authority" for first-generation Latina leaders. Using real survey responses and her own career stories, Pam breaks down the four roots Latinas have been quietly building: translating, managing without authority, caring for everyone, and surviving visibility in spaces not made for them. By weaving these roots together, she shows how what once felt like a burden can actually become your biggest leadership flex. Get ready to feel seen, celebrated, and inspired to own your story!
