We built the room we wished we’d always had.

A proud daughter of immigrants and an immigrant herself from Mexico City, Cinthia is an older daughter who learned to carry everyone else's weight before she ever learned to ask for help. She's the founder of a leadership development consultancy where executive coaching is a core part of the work — in her seventh year leading Autentica Consulting, she's coached 85+ leaders one-on-one in English and Spanish. She's also the co-founder of Constructing Autenticidad, a leadership program for Black, Brown, and Indigenous leaders. A TEDx speaker and mentor to women of color, she's spoken from stages including the Obama Presidential Center and the Gates Millennium Scholars Program. She holds an MBA from George Fox University and a Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Management certification from Georgetown University.

An immigrant from Mexico, Alondra is a career strategist and educator whose practice is built on one belief: identity is the foundation of professional success, not an obstacle to it. With graduate degrees from Harvard University and Oregon State University, she coaches BIPOC, immigrant, and first-generation professionals through job search strategy, negotiation, and leadership development, turning real-world strategy into frameworks people can use immediately.

An immigrant from Michoacán, Mexico, Verenice's earliest memory in the United States is her abuelos' home, where fifteen family members across three generations shared one roof — more than a house, a place of love and stability during a transformative chapter in her family's journey. That understanding of what a home can hold has shaped her whole career: with more than a decade in mortgage and community lending, she's dedicated herself to helping families navigate homeownership and build informed paths to their financial futures. Through Cafecito Properties, she's built a mission-driven real estate portfolio rooted in housing, hospitality, and generational wealth — proof of her belief that owning property can be a force for good, building wealth for her own family while creating opportunity for others.
