Why Organizations Bring Christina In
Christina’s talks create a shift that continues after the event.
Event organizers bring Christina in when they want their audience to walk away with more than inspiration, when they want:
- deeper audience engagement during the session (not passive listening)
- conversations that continue after the event ends
- leaders who can immediately apply what they learned
- a speaker who understands the cultural and professional nuance their audience is navigating
Her ability to combine strategy, storytelling, and cultural awareness allows her to meet audiences where they are and move them forward in a way that feels both challenging and actionable.

I’m also the founder of Hustle + Socialize, a leadership and visibility platform created to bring high-achieving Latina and Women of Color founders into rooms designed for depth, clarity, and connection.
Through building conferences, curating programming, and facilitating conversations, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what makes events meaningful and impactful for audiences.
That experience shapes how I approach every speaking engagement today.
I understand the responsibility of hosting and holding a room, supporting an audience, and delivering an experience that reflects well on the organizers.
Thank you for the incredible inspiration during your training last night. It has helped me to continue to shift my mindset with my content strategy
I felt deeply connected and inspired by your social media training. I am in deep admiration for your Hustle + Socialize Conference, mission, and content. YOU have inspired me to do more for minority-owned businesswomen.
You brought so much value and knowledge! I am eager to start leveling up my marketing game after this training. Thank you for being a Latina inspiration, because we all know how hard it can be.
Christina brought so much life to our monthly Communications Department meeting. She provided valuable insight during her, “A Guide For Building Your Personal Brand Through Social Media,” workshop. She is a great speaker! We are thankful she shared her tips and tricks and spirit with us.
I’m grateful for Christina’s leadership and presence during the February NLC National Institute weekends. Her expertise and skills brought so much value to our fellows. NLC is amazing because of alums like Christina! Thank you for all you do!
