This Wednesday, August 26, we begin our first Voices & Dreams Academy class.

Right now, we are still in what we like to call the “lobby.” Las puertas todavía están abiertas. Women are meeting one another, learning about the Academy, and deciding, ¿Será este espacio para mí?

You still have time to step inside, ask questions, and imagine what could happen if you gave your voice the space it deserves.

At our Kickoff event for Voices & Dreams Academy

Voices & Dreams Academy is more than a public-speaking program. Es una comunidad where women build confidence, strengthen their leadership, develop their stories, and create new possibilities for their businesses, careers, and communities. It's about learning the art of storytelling. It's about taking the lessons we've learned and turning them into something universal.

Maybe you have a story you have never shared.

Maybe you have an idea, a business, or un sueño that needs more confidence behind it.

Maybe you are ready to stop shrinking, tomar tu espacio, and start speaking about what you know, what you have survived, and what you are building.

Esta es tu invitación.

Applications close September 1, 2026.

Our September 9 class marks the beginning of the full Academy experience. After that class, the doors will be closed, and all remaining sessions will be mandatory for participating storytellers.

APPLY NOW

We ask for this commitment because la transformación toma tiempo. You can attend for FREE and not speak on stage, but if you want to speak, you'll need to fill out the form.

Every class builds upon the one before it. Participants will learn together, practice together, apoyarse unas a otras, and prepare to share their voices with the community.

You do not need to arrive polished. No tienes que tenerlo todo resuelto. You do not need to already see yourself as a speaker or leader.
