Enterprising Latinas, Inc. Enterprising Latinas creates pathways of economic opportunities for women in Tampa Bay. We are building a network for women's economic empowerment.
(1)

We believe when women do well, their children and communities do better! Enterprising Latinas (ELI) creates pathways of economic opportunity for women by teaching new skills, creating networks of mutual support, and advocating for innovative solutions to promote economic mobility and equity. Founded in 2009 and in operations since 2014, ELI is a highly recognized advocate of solutions to address inequities in women's wages and wealth, particularly among Latinas, who only earn on average 57 cents for every dollar a white male earns in the United States. ELI’s strategy is twofold: to support individual low to moderate-income women on their path to economic prosperity, as well as to turn community challenges into economic opportunities for women. Economic Opportunity Programs for Individuals:
*Economic Mobility Mentoring
*Workforce Development, Training & Employment Support
*Entrepreneurship Training, Technical Assistance & Microloan Fund
*Information & Connection to Community Resources

Community Prosperity Initiatives:
*Wimauma Opportunity Center
*Wimauma Connects Free Wi-Fi Service & Community Directory
*Wimauma ¡NOW! Neighborhood Plan Update Campaign
*Wimauma Shops!
*Eli's Cafe

Some family recipes never make it onto paper. During the pandemic, Barbara Cabrera and her daughter, Theresa Matos-Cabrera, spent hours at the kitchen counter recreating theirs from memory. Today, they serve those same dishes at celebrations across Tampa Bay through their business, Around the Table Events & Catering LLC.

This month, Enterprising Tampa Bay celebrates Barbara and Theresa as our Entrepreneurs of the Month. Through our Tampa Bay Eats course, they learned about food safety and business development.

Swipe to meet them, and follow to see what they’re cooking for your next celebration.

A week to celebrate as a community. 💜

We joined HCC SouthShore Campus and the Glenn & Danita Dickman Family at the Harvesting the Future Gala, an evening to connect with partners who believe in investing in the future of our community.

We also joined hundreds of supporters at the 38th Annual Tampa Hispanic Heritage Woman & Man of the Year Gala at the Hilton Downtown, honoring those who work for Tampa Bay’s Hispanic community.

And we wrapped up the week celebrating someone very special to us: happy birthday, Mariangely!

Thank you for your energy and for everything you bring to this family.

We keep adding moments, connections and reasons to look forward to what’s coming. ✨

Your voice matters. Your participation matters, too.

Understanding our communities starts with staying informed through reliable sources. In Florida, over 3.3 million Latinos are eligible to vote—bringing diverse experiences and shared needs that shape our daily lives.

Civic participation goes beyond the ballot box: getting informed on your own terms is step one.
