MIAMI, October 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Capturing the success and curiosity of “Latinas Rising Up In HR”, author and Chicago-native, now miamiHuman resources manager Priscille Guasso recently launched “Latinas Rising Up In HR, Volume II” to University of Miami Herbert Business School in Storer Auditorium.

The book features inspiring stories of aspiring human resource professionals who bravely overcame obstacles and defied statistics to achieve their dreams in corporate America, nonprofits, government, and as entrepreneurs. Guasso explained that for Latino professionals to succeed in human resources and bring about change for our entire Latin American community, a concrete step is to boldly share your story in your circle of influence.

In our second volume, we continue to encourage Latinas to take ownership of their personal development, ask questions to advocate for change, and respectfully challenge our organizations to do the same through strategic action. In just two years, we’ve seen the impact this anthology and community has had for Latinas in HR globally, such as career growth, support, encouragement, resources, and moments. of celebration as we reach each of the milestones (development and promotions).”
