Claudia Arroyo es una mexicana que como muchas otras mujeres tuvo que dejar su tierra y venir a Estados Unidos.
Aún contando con un título profesional en Comunicaciones y egresada de una de las más prestigiosas universidades de México, el Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey, no pudo ejercer su profesión al llegar a Estados Unidos por carecer de estatus legal.
Sus años en Estados Unidos la han hecho conocer la realidad que muchas inmigrantes viven.
La infancia de Claudia estuvo rodeada del amor de una madre no biológica en una familia de escasos recursos.
Por años ha sido una líder activa en los derechos de los inmigrantes, la prevención de la violencia y el género, los derechos de los homosexuales y la promoción de la salud para las comunidades desatendidas durante más de una década.
Durante casi 10 años en la industria de alimentos como mesera.
En 2010 fundó la Coalición Latina contra la violencia doméstica y de género, La Red Latina, reuniendo a más de 35 organizaciones.
Es empresaria y es la fundadora de un nuevo negocio cooperativo en el Distrito Laurel de Oakland.
Claudia es también la madre de Emiliano y es la directora ejecutiva de Prospera donde empresas propiedad de latinas cooperan para transformar a las comunidades y a las economías locales con la idea de generar prosperidad para beneficio común.
ENGLISH
Claudia Arroyo is a Mexican woman who, like many other women, had to migrate to the United States.
Even with a professional degree in Communications from one of the most prestigious universities in Mexico, Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey, she was unable to practice when she arrived in the United States due to her lack of legal status.
Claudia's first years in the United States made her aware of the reality that many immigrants live.
Her childhood was surrounded by the love of a non-biological mother in a low-income family.
Over the years she has been an active leader in immigrant rights, gender and violence prevention, and gay rights, and health promotion for underserved communities for over a decade.
She worked for almost 10 years in the food industry as a waitress.
In 2010 she founded the Latino Coalition Against Domestic and Gender Violence, La Red Latina, bringing together more than 35 organizations.
She is an entrepreneur and is the founder of a new business co-op in Oakland's Laurel District.
Claudia is the mother of Emiliano and is the executive director of Prospera where Latina-owned companies cooperate to transform communities and local economies with the idea of generating prosperity for the common benefit.
ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
