This week, we bring you one of our favorite conversations featuring some of the most inspiring Latinas we've had on the show. As a kid growing up in Texas, she thought that fitting in would keep her safe. Then, as she rose through the Wall Street ranks while harboring a big secret, a life-changing loss made her question everything.
