Elevating La Cultura Podcast
Welcome to Elevating la Cultura Podcast®.
A space where I talk with Latinas who are passionate about what they do and are willing to share that passion with others to change the narrative especially for the next generation. Each season is centered around different topics but all with the Latina perspective. Welcome to season 10 where I’m talking with Latinas who have founded non-profits.
Elevating La Cultura Podcast
Samantha Alvarez: Inspiring others in all areas of life through her own travel and lived experiences.
Hola! Today I’m hanging out with
Samantha, an insurance and financial consultant with over 15 years of experience. During Covid she made the decision to transition from the 9-5 life, cultivate her passion for travel, become an entrepreneur and launch her business, Hood Girls Travel Too. Which is a travel coaching community that aims to educate self-proclaimed hood girls and women about the many skills they possess that are transferable to a life of travel and adventure that they might feel is out of their reach.
By working 1 on 1 or in small groups to create their ideal travel plans, book the trip and hit the road, she hopes to create a generation of female solo and group travelers.
As she builds her business she is also studying to become a therapist and fulfill a personal goal to bring more diversity and cultural competency to the mental health field.
Ok enjoy our conversation.
