April 23, 2024 | Chingona Community: Empowering Latina Students at Cal State Long Beach

On April 23, 2024, the Chingona Community partnered with Cal State Long Beach to host an inspiring event in support of their Latinx Resource Center. The theme of the event was to empower Latina students, and we were honored to contribute to this vital mission. The Latinx Resource Center is part of the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Cal State Long Beach, working to uplift and support Latinx students on their educational journeys.

We proudly presented a panel featuring three incredible Latina leaders: Evelia Carmona from Southern California Edison, Melissa Gutierrez from Optum Healthcare, and Christina Ousley from COOP Financial. Each of these women shared their personal experiences related to career growth and education, offering valuable insights to the students in attendance.

It was a privilege to be part of this event, which reinforced our commitment to empowering the next generation of Latina leaders. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Cal State Long Beach and supporting their efforts to uplift the Latinx community.
