Juana Bordas says she was born to be a social worker, and at 70, she is proudly celebrating 50 years of social service. But Bordas has done much more than that, including writing a new book on Latino leadership with plenty of advice for young Latinos and Hispanics in the workforce.
“I saw at a young age that bringing people together empowered people,” says Bordas, who immigrated to Tampa, Florida from a small mining town in Nicaragua on a banana boat when she was nearly 4.

Juana Bordas, President of Mestiza Leadership International, a leadership development organization. She is the author of Salsa, Soul and Spirit and The Power of Latino Leadership. Read more…
