We’ve been watching powerful headlines that spotlight the words diversity and inclusion for the past couple of years. However, the substance of those words can often be clouded and weakened. I am a Hispanic female. I am a Hispanic female attorney practicing in the alcohol industry. I am also a Hispanic female business owner. Is this rare? Yes. The legal field, and especially the alcohol industry like many others have been traditionally dominated by men in various sectors and predominantly in management positions.

But I believe that beyond my minority status in a field and industry where I am outnumbered, it is my obligation to my predominantly minority legal team and my sisters, nieces and daughter to rise above the wrongs of the past and commit to creating a workplace that not just promotes diversity and inclusion but actually equalizes opportunity.
