¡Latina, Presente! is a community for Latinas and Introverts to practice their public speaking, con cultura and we're bringing our signature event to SoCal!
This is your community to learn public speaking skills, practice public speaking, and build a network of public speakers where we see, hear, & hold space for one another, to show up authentically on every stage we take.
Our Pillars
Well-being: Affirmations & Reflections
The first step in our journey is understanding our relationship with public speaking & creating a strong foundation of self within the art. This means intentionally implementing ways to care for ourselves and engaging in moments of deep reflection.
Growth: Skills, Practice & Resources
No amount of inspiration or motivation is enough if we don’t have the knowledge and tools to pursue our public speaking journey. Our full intention is to equip you with the skills, resources, & space you need to practice your public speaking.
Cultura Fun, introvert friendly, & community, a tu manera
We’re building a community of public speakers that lead with their unique lived experiences. This means that we have fun together, challenge ourselves, and feel safe in each other’s company.
What to Expect
First of all, we're going to have hella fun! Yes, I just said hella because as someone who grew up in the Bay, there's just no better way to express it. Our agenda is centered around your practice of public speaking & building community with everyone present.
🧡 Conversation Cards
As an introvert, I need activities to do at any networking event that help me start conversations. At every stop of our journey together, we're making conversations easy for one another with conversation starters created by me (Yvonne) to help facilitate your connections and by design, practice your public speaking.
🗣️ Interactive Workshops
Storytelling: Our workshop will cover fundamentals of public speaking and get you moving, sharing stories with one another, and honing in on your signature topic. If you don't have one, don't worry! The intention is that you will leave this workshop knowing exactly what you want to say and how you'll do it.
Feedback: We'll learn about the importance of feedback in our public speaking journey & I'll provide you an exact rubric for receiving and delivering feedback based on the following components: Impact, Delivery, & Audience Engagement.
🎤 Prepared Speeches
We're adding a really special touch to this event & giving space for our Amigas to take the ¡Latina, Presente! stage. Prepared speeches will vary in topics & will also serve as a way for us to implement our new understanding of feedback to help our speakers grow their impact on every stage they take.
🪅 Connections, Fun, & Goodies!
Like I said, we're about to have hella fun together. I mean it! Bites, community connections, photo opportunities (of you and your amigas & you on the stage), goodie bags filled with the essentials for your public speaking journey, & exclusive ¡Latina, Presente! tote bags made by artist, Danny Armenta (aka my brother).
Attire: Wear whatever makes you feel cool, calm, & comfortable! There will be opportunities for you to showcase your "speaker style", so dress in whatever makes you feel like you.
I'm hella excited to connect with you!
Love,
Yvonne
