Midwest mujeres pudimos invitar Adriana Latitano quien es una mujer tremenda haciendo cosas para las mujeres inmigrantes.
Cuando yo pienso del trabajo que hizo mi abuela viniendo aquí, Madison en 1970’s ella tuvo que reventarse porque porque ella vino de una historia muy mala, acá en México era una madre soltera, no tenía mucho provecho en esos días. La única cosa que tuvo era que un permiso para llegar acá. Yo sé cómo es tan difícil para las mujeres que apenas vienen y no tienen papeles o son indocumentadas .
Y he visto estas mujeres, quien en la sociedad dicen que no tienen valor hacer negocios grandes, comprarse trocas grandotas, tener casas bellas, y dan su comunidad y son mujeres muy amorosas y abundantes!
Yo siento que Adriana es una de esas mujeres que te van a dar esa reflexión, ese momento para que tú puedas impulsarte hacer un poco más o probar algo nuevo y seguir tu sueño.
Con papeles o sin papeles, estamos aquí. Hagamos lo mejor de este momento. 💯🧡💫

Prior to coming to HWCC, Dr. Herr was an Associate Professor at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and taught there for nearly 10 years. Her experience and passion for working with business owners stemmed from growing up with entrepreneurial parents who owned several types of businesses in Central Wisconsin. She saw first hand the challenges that they often encountered as first generation Hmong Americans with gaining access to capital and other business resources. This background knowledge fuels the work that she does everyday for underserved business communities.
Dr. Herr’s love of community extends far and wide. She co-founded Hmong Phoojywg (Friend) Enrichment Program in Central Wisconsin in 2012 as a way to provide youth the opportunity to learn how to speak Hmong and to understand Hmong culture and history. She has been a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consultant for numerous organizations in the nonprofit and for-profit world for many years. She now lives in Milwaukee with her husband and son but while living in Wausau, she was very active in the community, serving as board members of the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin, Marathon County Child Development Agency, Wisconsin Humanities, among others. Dr. Herr was one of the founding members of Toward One Wausau and is currently Co-Chair of Toward One Wisconsin. She also serves on UWSP Chancellor Gibson’s Advisory Council and the Board of Advisors for Wisconsin Institute on Public Policy and Service (WIPPS).
Dr. Herr was recognized as a BizTimes Media Notable Minority Executive and one of 48 Most Influential Asian Americans in Wisconsin by Madison365. She was most recently awarded TITAN 100 CEOs in Wisconsin in 2023 as well as WEDC Governor’s Conference Marketplace CEO of the Year in 2022.
