Practical tools. Community. Hands-on practice in a group setting. 

Immersive Experiences

The annual ¡Latina, Presente! Public Speaking Immersive Experience is the space for you to practice your public speaking, con cultura and "say it out loud", en comunidad. 

Through deep reflection, storytelling workshops, and portfolio-building activations, you step into you speaker journey.

 

You grow your skills, share your voice, and leave with resources that support your speaking journey beyond our time together.

Speaking Collective

Intentionally hosted on a video-based platform, the Latina, Presente Collective is our virtual stage to practice our speaking, free of pressure, and in community.

 

Wether you have an upcoming gig and want to practice out loud or want to engage in our weekly practice prompts and learning sessions, you'll receive real-time feedback, resources to grow your speaking skills, support in your speaking career, and be in community with other speakers.

Rooted in everything that makes you, you.

Yvonne Armenta is an introverted first generation Mexican-American, born and raised in San Francisco, CA now living in San Diego, CA. 

 

She founded Latina, Presente rooted in the belief that public speaking is more than a skill, it’s a practice of identity, culture, and self-expression. Leveraging her decade-long career as a Keynote speaker and communications professional in tech, she sought to create a space where we could be reminded of the direct connection between public speaking and our cultura of storytelling; where that became the foundation for both our practice, and growth as speakers.
