Power Media Group
Founder, Patricia Gracia, Is Featured In Profiles
In Latino Courage: How Everyday Latinos Achieve Success
“Patricia is truly a caring person who has a passion to help
others. It would take an entire book,
just on her, to describe the charitable work she does.” Profiles In Latino Courage author, Bill Miranda.
SANTA CLARITA,
CA. For those who have no other option than to
take risks, the lines between desperation and motivation become blurred. Author Bill Miranda describes Patricia as
embodying the definition of a “power woman”.
The thirst for success and a better life in the United States
were so great for Patricia, that she was willing to put herself in danger by
illegally crossing the Mexican border at the age of
18. It was the decision to take this
life-changing risk that allowed her to realize all her goals.
Profiles in Latino Courage gives
the reader a chance to understand the life journey that this determined Latina took in deciding
her own fate as a future business owner.
As it happens with the vast majority of immigrants, the greater
opportunities that lay within the borders of the U.S. are enough for them to make a
sacrifice in dangerously crossing the borders of surrounding countries. Coming from her native Peru, Patricia
knew that with the economic downturn in her country, there would be little to
no chance for her entrepreneurial spirit to realize the dreams of owning a
successful business.
Now, with
the ongoing success of her Hispanic advertising/PR agency, Power Media Group
(founded in 2001), Patricia has also dedicated her time to helping
entrepreneurs achieve their goals of launching a successful business. Founded in 2009, Power Woman Business Center,
a nonprofit 501 c3 organization, is how Patricia gives back to the community—by
providing a business incubator in which entrepreneurs have access to all the
necessary tools along with Patricia’s expertise to launch a business. Patricia knows all too well the sacrifices
entrepreneurs make in the pursuit of their dreams. As she states, “Dreams are part of us. One lives with dreams, paints them, shapes
them, and just like a painter, brings color to them.”
