The Birth of Latinas with Masters
What began in July 2020 as online support during graduate school evolved into something revolutionary: a digital sanctuary where Latina scholars don't just survive academia, they transform it. Through viral reels, a podcast breaking barriers of academic gatekeeping, and apparel celebrating academic achievement, Latinas with Masters became the counter-space we desperately needed. With 50K+ followers and 2M+ monthly impressions across digital platforms, this community keeps growing because of the hermanahood who show up and support us every day.
We're not just building a brand, we're documenting our existence, one degree at a time.
