“You are not lucky to be here.  The world needs your perspective.  They are lucky to have you.” — Antonio TijerinoIn this episode of Corporate Cafecito, we explore the fundamental tension between fitting in and showing up fully — especially as Latinos, immigrants, women, and professionals navigating spaces not built with us in mind.From moments in life where we may have hidden who we were to leading boardrooms with confidence and pride — this conversation is about reclaiming our voice, our culture, and our right to take up space unapologetically.The pressure to assimilate shows up in ways we don’t always name:🔹 Dialing yourself down to seem more “professional” 🔹 Wondering if you truly belong in the room you’ve earned 🔹 Fearing you're too much — or not enough for the space you’re in 🔹 Believing success requires you to leave parts of yourself behind 🔹 Losing sight of the truth — that you can grow and lead as your whole self We’ve learned that authenticity isn’t a liability — it’s your leadership.  When you show up fully, you don’t just lead—you open doors for others to do the same.#CorporateCafecito #AuthenticityOverAssimilation #LatineLeadership #YouBelongHere #RepresentationMatters #ProfessionalAndProud #LeadWithHeart #HistoriasQueInspiranSupport the showIf you’d like to join Nallely and Carlos from Corporate Cafecito for a cafecito conversation, collaborate, or suggest a topic that matters to our community, we would love to hear from you.
