Our Path
We have first-hand experiences with the difficulties that come with growing up as children of immigrants including: the lack of access to information in our own language, discrimination, lack of access to important networks, and the feeling of not being from one place or another.
Be Lat exists to close the communication gap in the United States. We understand that our community has unique challenges and struggles that must be addressed so that together, we can help our communities thrive in the entrepreneurial space.
Our Destination
We want to energize latinx talent across the US and ensure that language is no longer a barrier for accessing information and services that are essential for the development of all.
Our Founder
Nancy Marquina was born and raised in Jackson, Wyoming. At the age of 7 she began to translate documents for her parents because they weren't able to read or write in English. Years later, she noticed there were even memes about this experience and that it was one of the most common experiences for every child of immigrants that grew up in the US.
Although this experience happened more than 17 years ago, it came to her attention that language accessibility continues to be a huge barrier for latinx communities.
There are still many government, financial, and educational institutions across the US that don't have the tools to provide language accessible information! (Marquina)
So she decided to put her experience and schooling to use by founding Be Lat where she helps organizations reach Spanish-speaking audiences through social media content and to provide language accessible social media marketing services for latino-owned businesses.
