It is a digital space where we feel empowered and resilient. Let us get to know each other. Let us cheer each other on AND show the world what we have to offer.
Let us now welcome Jane Rodriguez to the Scholars of Color Space!
Name: Jane Rodriguez
Gender Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
What do you currently do for work and/or school?: Full time entrepreneur, Online Business Manager + Business Coach, business name: The Thriving CEO.
Without positions or titles, how would you describe yourself?: Someone who helps people find their path/purpose in life
What are you passionate about?: I am passionate about so many things! It all revolves on helping people live their best lives whether that is through their career, wellness, starting their own business, etc. Recently, I've also become extremely passionate about spirituality and using my voice as a Latina to talk about how my culture plays a role in my life and who I am.
Why is the representation of scholars of color important to you?: It is so important to acknowledge the diversity that encompasses education. Representation matters! Working with students of color or who are first-generation, seeing people that look like them in these areas helps their own imposter syndrome. It plays such a vital role in their development as leaders too!
If people are interested in getting connected to you, how can they?: They can connect with me via my website www.thriving-holistically.com or shoot me a DM on Instagram or Facebook
Anything else you would like us to know?: I am constantly changing my mind about who I want to be and what I want to do. I want my passions to guide my life and allow me to make an impact on the lives of as many people as I possibly can. I want to inspire people to live their best lives and believe in themselves. I want to encourage people to fill themselves with radical self-love! As long as I am making a positive impact on the lives of others, I am happy!
Thank you Jane for sharing space with us!
