From this starting point, my investigation expanded beyond the church to incorporate other types of workplaces, finding the same struggles I saw with Black pastors in Latina professors and Asian marketers.

A Latina marketing manager told me about the stress of being brought into pictures of teams that she wasn’t even on.

A Latina radio personality was asked to use a voice very different from her own while on English-speaking radio.

"She's a young Latina woman with political opinions that don't align with certain groups, who are quick to voice their anger," she said.

But for many Latina women, she is an inspiration - the first Tejano singer to debut at the top of the Billboard chart when her posthumous crossover album, Dreaming of You, was released in 1996.
