empowering latina women

Every day we are inspired by women who struggle to accomplish more and give more. These Latinas show us that everyone has the power to change the world and that it's up to us to contrast! Mentioned below are two empowering Latina women you need to know who shaped U.S history-

Ellen Ochoa

Ellen Ochoa was the first Hispanic woman to visit space in 1993 during the Discovery Shuttle missions that performed both research and assembly missions on the International Space Station (ISS). The California-born indigene graduated at the age of 27 with her doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University. She joined NASA in 1991 to work in the Astronaut Office developing computer software and robotics. During her voyages into space, Ellen worked as a missions veteran and flight engineer on the space shuttle. After 14 years, she chose to retire from spacecraft operations to work as a deputy director and eventually the director of the Johnson Space Center in Houston in 2013. Ellen became the second woman and first Hispanic to do so.


Sonia Sotomayor

The Supreme Court queen we all demand, Sonia Sotomayor was born in the Bronx in 1954. From a growing age, Sonia was fostered by a single mother. In 1976, Sonia certified summa cum laude from Princeton University and later attended Yale Law school. She began working in a solitary practice firm until she grasped the attention of New York senators. Sonia was later chosen for District Court judge, and in the following years, Sonia was nominated for the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals by President Clinton. In 2009, President Obama nominated Sonia to become the first Latina Supreme Court Justice in U.S. history. Sonia has been poignant by her decision on Obamacare and the 5-4 ruling to sanction gay marriage in 2015.
