Lateena Power! was created to empower Latina
youth to envision and pursue their goals
and thereby attain the success they deserve.
The program is based on the premise—developed by
psychologist Dr. Ana Nogales in her groundbreaking
book, Latina Power!—that Latinas inherit 7 cultural
strengths and can use them to succeed in life.
Lateena Power! participants explore the 7 strengths
inherent within them—and learn how to develop and
use these strengths to envision their future, set desired
goals, reach out to mentors, and work toward achieving
their dreams.

Issues Covered in the Lateena Power! Program

Self-awareness
Personal goals & dreams
Valuing education
Successful role models
Friendships & peer pressure
Confronting dating abuse
Teen pregnancy
Depression & suicide
Overcoming fears
Parental vs. personal expectations
Earning, budgeting & saving money
Finding a mentor
Honoring & respecting yourself

Lateena Power! can be used in an English
Language-Arts-based class and is appropriate
for both traditional and alternative
instructional settings. The lessons/sessions provide
students practice in writing, research, technology, and
communication skills.

When fear, intimidation, and cruelty are present in a woman’s relationship, she can no longer be the person she was meant to be. This Workbook represents a healing journey—from a life of domestic abuse to one that is free from such abuse. Readers will learn to develop their 7 Latina Power Strengths so that they will be empowered to create a life that is free from domestic violence.

The author’s hope is that this Latina Power Workbook will empower women to make the life-saving changes they so deserve. She deeply believes that they have the strengths within them to do just that!
