Latinas in Technology

Luz Rivas is helping to bring technology and education to young Latinas in under-served communities. She’s the CEO of DIY Girls:

“Our plans for the next five years is to serve 3,000 girls in the Los Angeles area and to do that we need to build a strong and sustainable organization. One area I’ve been exploring is how to develop this into a social enterprise, so that as a non-profit, we’re not just relying on individual donations, but we’re earning our own revenue [with] workshops or engineering classes at schools.”

Luz Rivas is a Latina woman of colour who has long brown hair and is smiling
