To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re excited to highlight Hispanic leaders at our corporate partner organization Chicago Cubs 👏 "Being a female Hispanic leader in sports has taught me that staying true to myself and my culture can create opportunities, even when it's something people don’t always understand. I want young girls and women to see that authenticity can open doors and create pathways in this industry. Amo de adonde vengo y sé que eso es lo que me hace única en mi rol dentro de una organización como los Cubs." Sarah Peñalver 🌟 “Being a Hispanic leader in the sports industry has been exciting as there are so many possibilities to break barriers and foster an inclusive environment. I am thrilled to be part of an organization that celebrates Hispanic culture through the beautiful game of baseball, and I am eager to continue my journey with the Cubs!” Ana Diaz 🌟
