## Resource

Danielle sits down with the incredible Erika Bañuelos for a deeply moving conversation about family, resilience, and the pursuit of independence. Accompanied by translator Valentina, Erika shares stories of her vibrant childhood in Mexico and the profound impact of a father who taught her what a good man looks like. She opens up about the devastating loss of her first child, which became the catalyst for her to immigrate to the US at eighteen in search of better healthcare. After years of dedicating herself to raising her two sons, Erika discusses her inspiring transition into entrepreneurship, turning a housekeeping job into a thriving business with a mission to lift up and empower other women to find their own financial and personal independence.
