Uncolonized Latinas explores a number of mindsets that can hold Latinas back from achieving their full potential, including:

The belief that we are not good enough.

This belief can stem from colonization, which often led to the internalization of negative beliefs about ourselves and our cultures. This belief can also be reinforced by experiences of racism and discrimination.

The belief that we cannot succeed.

This belief can be based on our own experiences of failure, or on the experiences of other Latinas who have been denied opportunities. This belief can also be reinforced by the messages we receive from the media and from society.

The belief that we need to rely on others to achieve our goals.

This belief can stem from the idea that Latinas are not capable of taking care of ourselves or of achieving our goals on our own. This belief can also be reinforced by the way that Latinas are often portrayed in the media as being dependent on others.

The belief that we need to assimilate into white culture in order to be successful.

This belief can stem from the idea that white culture is superior to other cultures. This belief can also be reinforced by the way that white culture is often seen as the norm in the United States.

Being Latina is not a disadvantage. As we lead our careers with confidence and authority, we will drive transformational and lasting systemic changes.
