Latinas have been systematically excluded from positions of leadership across industries and professions in the United States. As a result, they often lack role models, mentors, and sponsors to guide them effectively. Latina leaders overcome substantial challenges and obstacles to obtain their positions of leadership. Organizations use leadership development programs to enhance the skills and abilities of their leaders and Latinas are often overlooked and are not given access to these opportunities. A community-based, culturally tailored leadership development program, the MANA de San Diego Latina Success Leadership Program (LSLP), was created to address such challenges and obstacles. Findings from a qualitative study indicated that the experience provided a safe space for Latinas to develop a nuanced leader identity--a Latina space. By being around other Latina leaders where they shared stories of struggles and successes, participants experienced heightened confidence and empowerment that led to direct changes in their leadership behaviors and career trajectories.
