Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Francesca Mayca Wegner. A movement leader who dreams big and envisions the long-term possibilities around her, Francesca Mayca Wegner recognizes that it takes resources, access, and dedication to affect sustainable change and she has dedicated her life to that very mission.  Francesca is the co-founder of Midwest Latina(MWL), an apparel and accessories brand that makes stuff for you to wear, so you feel good about how you look, who you are, and where you come from. As two first-generation Peruvian-American sisters who were born in Chicagoland and live in Milwaukee, Francesca and her sister Gabriella have always felt passionate about finding spaces and brands that make them feel like they belong. MWL is where design and identity unite for a one-of-a-kind Midwest Latina look—where cultura meets classic. Midwest Latinas is a reflection of Francesca and Gabriella's multifaceted identities and creates space for other Midwest Latinas to be seen and celebrated. Francesca also serves as President and Chief Possibilities Officer of Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee (HPGM). Appointed in April 2021, she is an advocate, connector, and convener, and has led the organization through a record growth period with its membership, philanthropic gifts, and revenue during one of the most challenging times within the global landscape.  A trailblazer known for her advocacy of others, Francesca was recognized in 2021 by Madison365 as one of ‘Wisconsin's 36 Most Influential Latino Leaders,' as both a ‘40 Under 40 Winner' and as a ‘Power Broker & Executive to Watch' by the Milwaukee Business Journal in 2022, and BizTimes named her a 2023 ‘Notable BIPOC Executive,' which was especially meaningful as she was nominated by her HPGM team. In her free time, you can find Francesca cozying up with a good book or podcast at a local coffee shop with a cafecito in hand or spending time with her husband Ted and their dogs, Michael Jordan and Scottie. In this episode, Francesca tells us how she had to leave her people-pleasing tendencies behind to become her most authentic self. As a survivor of domestic violence, she's had to learn how to read the emotions of others and diffuse any and all tension in order to survive. And as an adult, she still felt she had to use these same survival tactics at work, even when she's the executive. But by catering to everyone else's needs, she was neglecting her own. It wasn't until she was insulted behind closed doors and heard that she “wasn't brown enough” to count as diversity within her company, that she decided to put down the weight of people-pleasing and start speaking up for herself.

So, we are really confident that this intentional approach will help us sustain, grow, and deepen our impact in our community in a way that truly honors our legacy and is going to, in my opinion, come out on the other end with a stronger Wisconsin, not just for Latinos, but really for our state as a whole.14:35 - None of us get to where we are or achieve what we do all on our own. I'm still waiting for someone to show me an example of someone who had no help, and I've been really blessed and have had beautiful people in my life who have nurtured me and helped me succeed. 20:15 - When we think about representation, outside of the workplace and just things like media or literature or really anything else you can imagine in your life, one of the things that my sister and I have always talked about is feeling like our perspective isn't necessarily represented.Connect with Becky Dubin JenkinsLinkedInConnect with Francesca Mayca WegnerLinkedInA movement leader who dreams big and envisions the long-term possibilities around her, Francesca Mayca Wegner recognizes that it takes resources, access, and dedication to affect sustainable change and she has dedicated her life to that very mission.

Our guests today are Daisy Serrano and Luc D'Abreau. This dynamic husband and wife duo is on a mission to help millennials grow generational wealth through multifamily investing. In this action-packed conversation, the couple shares their individual and collective “Why”, how they started investing, and the importance of empowering millennial investors. Tune in and get inspired! Learn more about Daisy and Luc and their story at: www.growingcareersandcompanies.com. “Being in a relationship is very different than working together. Being business partners has helped us understand each other on a very different note as well.”   02:19 Daisy studied criminology and had a career in international education for about 10 years. She became interested in multifamily real estate when she started dating Luc, who already had a passion for investing. Luc has an engineering background and his family had a few single-family rentals growing up. After he read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki & Sharon Lechter, he knew he wanted to invest in multifamily.   Daisy and Luc opened a private equity multifamily investment firm, Make It Rain Capital. Luc focuses on the numbers and underwriting and Daisy is responsible for networking and building communities. “You're gonna mess up stuff anyway because you don't know what you're doing, so you might as well “fail forward”...”   10:37 Daisy and Luc started a podcast for Make it Rain and their goal is to help millennial investors learn more about real estate investing. Daisy explains that there are still not many opportunities for millennials, let alone women or Latinos in the multifamily world. Their goal is to change that.   The couple shares their “Whys” and the reason why they got into investing. Daisy's family is from Mexico and her parents sacrificed a lot to provide a better life for her. She wants to reach financial freedom to be able to help her parents retire. Luc wants to make an impact and help people.   Daisy and Luc moved from Southern California to Austin, Texas in 2020. They're working on building a community of investors there. Their plan for 2022 is to bring good opportunities to their investors and build a multifamily investing course.     42:28 The Final 3 Questions     What is the lesson that has taken you the longest to learn?   For Daisy, it was to gain confidence around their business and her abilities. For Luc, it was taking full responsibility for the business and the time of their employees and investors.     What are the 2 principles from the Growing Careers & Companies Framework that resonate the most with you?   Purpose and Impact. According to the couple, their purpose is to impact people, so these principles go hand in hand. Their goal is to impact a million lives in their lifetime so they treat every interaction as an opportunity to make an impact.     What do you hope others take away from your story?   That we are all extremely powerful people. If we weren't strong as humans, then our ancestors wouldn't have survived. We can accomplish anything collectively. Practice self-love, keep your promises to yourself, and do things that are challenging.

Twenty years ago, three Latino couples, made up of an engineer, a scientist, an IT professional and three teachers, took a look at what was going on with Latino education in the state, and didn’t like what they saw. About half of the students were dropping out of high school and they saw that was going to cause big problems for them, and the state. That is when this episode’s First in Future guest Marco Zarate, his wife and others stepped up and assisted in forming the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals, a nonprofit focused on “promoting education among Hispanic youth,” with a special focus on increasing high school graduation rates. North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals have raised corporate contributions, brought in members and volunteers, and through it all Marco has stayed with the organization, as president on a voluntary basis.

For this episode, I sat with Cecilia Escobar, Founder and President of Smart Accounting Solutions. With more than 30 years of Entertainment Payroll and Accounting Expertise Cecilia has held executive and senior management roles for multiple entertainment payroll companies like Media Services and Axium, and most recently, she was the Vice President of Payroll Operations at Entertainment Partners.  In between these positions, she freelanced as a payroll and production accountant on major motion pictures and studios for over 18 years. Cecilia is a Multi-Cultural Client Business Partner, leading efforts for Multi-Cultural Diversity in the Industry.

This story is part of "Every 30 Seconds," a collaborative public media reporting project tracing the young Latino electorate leading up to the 2020 presidential election and beyond.Brayan Guevara comes from a long line of educators: His mother is a college instructor, and his grandparents were teachers in Honduras. Now, Guevara is on the same path. The 19-year-old is a sophomore at Guilford Technical Community College in Greensboro, North Carolina, and wants to become a teacher.Before the pandemic and while school was still in session, Guevara spent his weekdays as a teacher's assistant at Irving Park Elementary in Greensboro helping kids with their schoolwork and classroom behavior.“At the time I was working with kindergarteners and first graders,” he said. “They're still in their fundamental stage where they need to do [work on] three-letter words or four-letter words. I will just help them do that and mostly get their own behavior in check.”The lack of Latino educators in the US is one reason Guevara, who is Afro Latino, is pursuing his career path. He wants to change the way teachers interact with students, especially minorities. And he wants to serve as a model for his students — especially those who are Black, Latino and Afro Latino — so that they, too, see a future for themselves in education.“How teachers treat Black kids, which I have experienced in my time — it's just the stigma that they already have for these kids."Brayan Guevara, sophomore, Guilford Technical Community College “How teachers treat Black kids, which I have experienced in my time — it's just the stigma that they already have for these kids,” Guevara said. Related: This first-time Afro Latino voter is undecided. His biggest issue? Education.The North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals is working to address the lack of Latino educators, especially those who are Afro Latino. The nonprofit promotes education among Hispanic youth in North Carolina.But there needs to be more intention when it comes to recruiting Latino educators, said the group's board chair, MariaRosa Rangel.“If we truly believe in equity and if we really want to make a difference, we need more Latino teachers.”MariaRosa Rangel, board chair, North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals“If we truly believe in equity and if we really want to make a difference, we need more Latino teachers,” she said. “We also lose a lot of students because they don't see themselves reflected in the curriculum, they don't see themselves as reflected in the classroom.”Guevara shares his love of teaching with his mother, Nodia Mena, a Spanish language instructor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Mena received her teaching certificate while she was living in Honduras. She immigrated to the US in the 1990s, and worked in the corporate world in New York. After several years, Mena moved to North Carolina and earned her master's in Spanish literature, then began teaching.Like her son, teaching is her passion. And as an Afro Latina educator, she wants to expose her students to a world that is inclusive of all races.“I realized that most of the Latino students are not aware of the presence of Afro descendants in Latin America, the lack of presence in the media,” she said. “It does not include Afro descendancy in it, and it's hurtful for me.”Related: How a trip to Honduras shaped one young US Afro Latino voter's identityThe rise of Latinos in higher edThe proportion of Latinos in higher education in the US is growing. In 1990, only 10% of recently arrived Latino immigrants older than 25, had a bachelor's degree or higher, according to the Pew Research Center. In 2018, roughly a quarter of Latino immigrants had a bachelor's degree or higher.While this increase is welcomed by organizations that promote Latino education, more work needs to be done to close the gap. Only 24% of Latino adults in the US have an associate's degree or higher — compared to 44% of all US adults.it's a myth that Latinos don't value education, said Deborah Santiago, co-founder and CEO of Excelencia in Education, a national nonprofit aimed at increasing Latino student success in higher education. And the US presidential election in November will give Latinos a chance to dismantle that myth.“I think that Latinos represent the potential for how to redesign and restructure education that can serve all students of all backgrounds better by starting with this young group.”Deborah Santiago, co-founder and CEO, Excelencia in Education“I think that Latinos represent the potential for how to redesign and restructure education that can serve all students of all backgrounds better by starting with this young group,” she said. "It has to be part of the voting opportunities because the elections impact investment in education. And disproportionately, that's increasingly going to be authentic, and it has to be the way we're investing in our future generations of populations.”With Election Day four months away, Guevara hopes President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee, will start talking more about the issue closest to him: education. Where the candidates stand on the topic may be the deciding factor on who gets his vote, he said, especially when it comes to student loan debt.“As a broke college student, we don't want to have a burden of the four years that we spent just to even get our degree,” he said. Guevara's mother hopes presidential candidates will take Latinos seriously when they talk about education.“As soon as we are identified as being immigrants, then we are treated with that stigma, the negative stigma and then all of a sudden, whatever comes out of our mouth is really seen as deficient,” Mena said.Teaching and inspiring students is what Guevara wants to continue doing and to follow in the footsteps of his grandparents and his mother.“God puts you on this Earth for a reason,” he said. “I know I'm still young, but this is my purpose.”

WTMJ's Libby Collins talks with the President and CEO of Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee about the upcoming Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Awards.

Twenty years ago, three Latino couples, made up of an engineer, a scientist, an IT professional and three teachers, took a look at what was going on with Latino education in the state, and didn’t like what they saw. About half of the students were dropping out of high school and they saw that was going to cause big problems for them, and the state. That is when this week’s First in Future guest Marco Zarate, his wife and others stepped up and assisted in forming the North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals, a nonprofit focused on “promoting education among Hispanic youth,” with a special focus on increasing high school graduation rates. Nearly 17,000 students have come to an annual education summit, while another 175,000 have gotten information through their “stay in school” campaign. North Carolina Society of Hispanic Professionals have raised corporate contributions, brought in members and volunteers, and through it all Marco has stayed with the organization, as president on a voluntary basis. Marco Zarate grew up in Tampico Mexico, then in Mexico City before going to one of the best universities in the country, Monterrey Tech, to study engineering. His connection to North Carolina began with a graduate program at NC State more than 30 years ago.
