First-ever Latin Leadership and Personal Development Global Summit features two speakers from the South Side

The other speaker is April Monterrosa, the first Latina to own a publication that highlights the South Side of San Antonio. Monterrosa was listed as an influential Latina in San Antonio by KSAT 12 News and was honored by the 87th Texas Legislature for her achievements as a civic leader and community advocate.

She has a passion for giving back to her community and serves as a board member on the San Antonio Water System’s Community Experience Committee, VIDA Arts Council, the Palo Alto College Cosmetology Committee, the San Antonio District 4 Small Business Committee, Brooks Give Back, and the San Antonio Women’s Business Center.

She also serves as the director of Community Development for The Pink Berets and the vice-chair for Mitchell Lake Audubon Center.
“Growing up in the South San Antonio Independent School District, purchasing the home I grew up in to stay in my community, and all that has come with the launch of the publication has led me here. What an honor,” Monterrosa said about the “LatinTalks” opportunity.

The free event is committed to identifying, inspiring, educating, transforming, and empowering personal development leaders in the Latin community.

Hosted by international entrepreneur/speaker Peter O. Estévez and entrepreneur/life coach Celina Belizán, the live three-hour event invites audiences worldwide to join the movement in motion, propel themselves into new lives, and inspire the next generation of Latinos.

The event takes place from 9 a.m.-noon on Sept. 3 at the Hilton Palacio del Rio, 200 S. Alamo St. Click here to RSVP.
