For Immediate Release
LOS ANGELES--- The National Latina Business Women Association, Los Angeles Chapter (NLBWA-LA) hosted its 7th Annual Honoring Latinas in Business Awards, which commend outstanding Latina businesswomen in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area. Women such as Patricia Gracia, Power Media Group Inc. president and founder are chosen who have demonstrated financial success and a commitment to the advancement of the Latino community. Gracia was honored by NLBWA-LA for her outstanding growth in Public Relations (PR).
Josefa Salinas, Morning Show News Anchor on Hot 92.3, hosted the awards which were presented on Thursday, June 03 at the L.A. Design Center/Cisco Brothers Corp. in Los Angeles.
Patricia Gracia, a Peruvian native came to the United States crossing the border at age 18, alone full of goals and dreams. She started her new American life in the San Fernando Valley and quickly mastered the English language. She began working for the Peninsula Hotel, a five-diamond and five-star hotel in Beverly Hills that sponsored her education at UCLA where she received a degree in public relations. After this education, coupled with a solid dozen years of experience in customer service via the hospitality industry, she formed the strong foundation to develop her own advertising and PR agency in 2OOl, with a tagline and philosophy that, "we love your business, as we love our baby."
Over 6,000,000 Latinas live and work in California today and represent 17 percent of California's total population (State of California, Department of Finance, July 2007). Latinas own an estimated 747,108 firms in the U.S., and companies generate revenues of nearly $62 billion as of 2008 (Center for Women's Business Research). More than one-third (34.9 percent) of all Hispanic businesses are owned by women, with Los Angeles leading the way.
"Latina-owned businesses continue to boom in Los Angeles, despite today's economic challenges, and historically they are big contributors to their communities," said Claudia Bodan-Acuna, president of NLBWA-LA.
