Fight the power!

Literanista August 24, 2007

Salsa, Soul, and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Age by Juana Bordas empowers Latinas to take on the world and claim their power as leaders in a diverse, and often tumulous society.

“The only book that presents a multicultural leadership model that integrates eight practices from African-American, American Indian, and Latino communities, instead of the heavily or exclusively Anglo-American based concepts of leadership.”

Love it!!
