History?
While in college, Ariana Allen was inspired by conversations with her friends about their struggles navigating the ins and out of college. Curious she decided to turn these experiences into a paper for her Feminist Methods class. Through interviews, surveys, and research, she discovered that it wasn’t just her friends who struggled; it was a wider spread issue than she imagined. Inspired to do something about it, Ariana combined her love for media and she decided to launch EducatedLatina.com, as an online destination for college Latinas to turn to be empowered, enlightened, and entertained.
Why the name Educated Latina?
Let’s start by saying we are perfectly aware of the fact that “Educated” is in the past tense and we have a reason for that. We were inspired by Stephen Covey, author of the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” His second habit is “Begin with the end in mind.”
It encourages us to… “Envision what you want in the future so you can work and plan towards it. Therefore, being an “Educated Latina” means you are a walking success. You’ve already got that degree! Look to EducatedLatina.com as your stepping stones to achieving that success.
