Latinas with Master’s with Christina Rodriguez - Ep. 48

Welcome to episode 48 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!
Today’s guest is Christina Rodriguez, the founder of Latina’s with Masters. This is a community to inspire, empower, and educate our community and future generation leaders with equitable pathways, academic advancement, and professional growth, as stated on their Facebook page.
In today’s episode, Christina shares her upbringing with immigrant parents from Nicaragua. She is the middle child of three; however, the first one to be born in the United States. Her older brother is seven years older than her, so the responsibilities of translating and helping her parents fell on her, she said; in a sense, she felt like the eldest.
Christina also shares why she started Latinas with Masters. According to Pew Research ( www.pewresearc... ), Latinas have fueled the growing number of Hispanics with graduate degrees between 1990 and 2021! The percentage of Latinos (both male and female) with graduate degrees increased to 8% since 2021. Hispanic Americans have had the fastest growth in advanced degrees of any major racial or ethnic group.
With Love, Heidy
