Episode 67 - In this episode of the Latino Business Report our guest is Alejandra de la Torre. Alejandra’s pathway to her success was not linear. At an early age she was told that after high school she would be getting married and having babies, which was the path for most young Latinas in those days.

However, Alejandra didn’t see it that way. She wanted something more.
