Colorado Springs built a park where a whole Mexican American neighborhood used to be.

The Conejos neighborhood sat just south of downtown, between Monument Creek and the rail tracks. Families from southern Colorado and northern New Mexico settled there in the 1920s and 1930s. Many called it una familia grande, one big family.

For decades the city left its streets unpaved. There were no sidewalks and no streetlights. Families raised their kids and kept their church going anyway.

In the 1990s the city began buying out the homes, and crews tore them down. In 2005, a new park opened on the land.

Only one building still stands from the old days. It is the 1910 Chadbourn Spanish Gospel Mission. The city museum now keeps the stories of the people who lived there.

In this week’s The Lead, Anna Dapelo-Garcia, founder of Lean In Latinas, shares how she went from holding back at work to becoming the first Latina executive director at a large academic medical center – and why she’s committed to opening doors for the women coming up behind her.

Nearly 9 in 10 Latinas want to be promoted – more than any other group of women. Yet they hold just 1% of C-suite roles. Latinas aren’t lacking ambition. They’re being denied equal opportunities to advance.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month CON ORGULLO!

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate who we are, where we come from, and everything our cultura has given the world.

We carry the strength of the women who came before us.
We carry the stories of our abuelas.
We carry our traditions, our música, our comida, our language, our faith, our familias and our beautiful, resilient histories.

We are artists. We are soñadoras. We are mothers, daughters, leaders, creators, entrepreneurs and changemakers.

We are Latinas — strong, beautiful, bold and STILL STANDING.

Like Frida, we remind the world that our stories, our culture and our voices are powerful. We don’t have to fit into anyone else’s idea of who we should be.

We know who we are.
We know where we come from.
And we celebrate it CON ORGULLO!

¡Viva nuestra cultura!
¡Vivan nuestras raíces!
¡Vivan las Latinas! ❤️🌼
