Juana Bordas: The Voice and Vision of Latina Leadership
Click to watch the film, an inspirational story of a Latina immigrant's perseverance, hope, resiliency, and search for the American dream. Great Colorado Women Film Series Juana Bordas: The Voice and Vision of Latina Leadership. Journey with Juana Bordas as she arrives on a Banana boat from her native Nicaragua to become a powerful Latina leader. Tap into her passion for serving her community, uplifting women, and inspiring thousands of Latinas to become leaders. Join her in her quest to create an equitable multicultural nation.
Dr. Juana Bordas is recognized as an elder and icon in the world of leadership, diversity, and the advancement of Latinos and communities of color. The first Latina faculty at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) she taught in the Leadership Development Program – the most highly utilized executive program in the world. As a leader, teacher, activist, and author Dr. Bordas continues sharing her wisdom and insights with people across the globe. She was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 1997. Her books include The Power of Latino Leadership ¡Ahora! Inclusion, Community, and Contribution and Salsa, Soul, and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Age
In her own words: in the traditions of many cultures, a person tells his or her story when meeting someone. This is a way to honor one’s family, connect in a meaningful way, and share unique experiences.
My mother, four brothers, my sister, and I stood at the ship’s rail watching the image of our beloved Nicaragua become smaller and smaller and then finally disappear into the Caribbean Sea. In the hull of a banana boat, we rocked and swayed, across the Gulf of Mexico. We docked in Tampa, Florida, and fell into the welcoming arms of mi Papa. He had arrived earlier, earning money to bring his familia to America so his children could have a better life. This immigrant dream has been the promise of America and the wellsprings of its greatness.
My mother, Maria, cooked food and scrubbed floors in the school lunchroom so I could get a scholarship to a Catholic school. My parent’s vision, determination, and sacrifice have been an endless source of inspiration and strength. They taught me the very essence of Servant Leadership.
I was the first in my family to go to college. When I graduated I wanted – to give back – just as my parents had done for me. I joined the Peace Corps and worked in the barrios of Santiago, Chile. Helping low-income women develop work cooperatives so they could feed their families. This early decision set my life on a path of service and reconnected me to my Latina soul.
Do you believe in destino or destiny – that every person has a unique life path and contribution to make? I do because my destino has led me to do the work I do today. I know that as an immigrant; a Hispanic girl from a low-income family with 7 brothers and sisters. I learned to be resourceful, scrappy, talented, and street-smart. It was the perfect preparation for me to become a leader, writer, and teacher.
