In times of uncertainty, the strength of a community is measured by how we support one another. At Prospera, we believe that every story is a seed of transformation, and that the voices of immigrant women not only deserve to be heard but are essential to building a more just future.
Today, we share the testimonies of two entrepreneurs who, from their own experiences, are facing the political, social, and economic challenges of this moment with courage. Their words remind us that even in the midst of adversity, hope and commitment to collective dreams continue to bloom.
Norma Muñoz — J.KINnovations
“This climate has forced us to be more mindful, more human, and to support each other as entrepreneurs.”
Maria Inés Davalos — Dance Studio Maseuani
“Beyond financial capital, we need empathy. Empathy to understand that migrant women are contributing, building, teaching, and healing in our communities, and that when budget cuts come, we are always the first to be affected. That must change. We need a fair balance.”
The voices of Mara Inés and Norma reveal two distinct realities, yet the same thread unites them: the need for spaces where women can be supported, seen, recognized, and grow with dignity.
At Prospera, we are honored to walk alongside them. We know that resilience is not about silently enduring, but about raising our voices, demanding justice, and weaving networks of support that strengthen us all.
Now, more than ever, we must listen to and amplify these voices. Because when one immigrant woman blooms, the whole community blooms with her.
