It's here. In The Corporate Kitchen: The Cost No One Calculated is officially available.
This book started with a raised hand in a meeting — a moment many of you will recognize. A solution proposed, overlooked, and then celebrated a week later when someone else said the same thing. That moment stayed with me, and the fifteen years of observation, analysis, and organizational science that followed became this book.
Part memoir, part organizational psychology, part business case, In The Corporate Kitchen traces my journey as a Latina professional through Apple and Amazon — documenting not just what I experienced, but why it happens, who it costs, and what organizations must do to stop paying the price for systems they never examined.
The gap between Latina contribution and Latina recognition isn't a diversity problem. It's an organizational one — and it's time we named it.
If this resonates with you, whether you've lived it or led teams where it's happening, I'd love for you to read it. The Kindle edition is available now for $12.99, with paperback at $19.99.
Thank you to everyone who's supported this journey. This one is for every professional whose contributions have been quieted, repackaged, or overlooked — I see you.
