Episode 29: Lo cortés no quita lo valiente

Vivana Maldonado

Founder, The Jefa Life

Lo cortés no quita lo valiente

Translation: Politeness does not remove the bravery

In this week's episode, Viviana Maldonado joins in to talk about politeness, bravery, and the wonderful in the unexpected.

Viviana is the founder of The Jefa Life, a career blog aimed to creating a space where Latinas could access career information such as tips and resources, but also learn through stories—Latina stories. She shares with us the story of her move to California from Nebraska, her expectations of a big city, and what happens next in her career.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of soft-skills such as kindness, politeness, and niceness. These soft-skills are important in any aspect of life and the Latinx gente does it so well! Viviana also shares how she is inspired by the daily hustle and bustle of la comunidad latina.
