Kroger's first ever Latina President, Laura Gump, sits down with our founder, Anjelica Cazares, to give some insight into the grocery business, and how she navigates this environment as a Latina. Laura explains how she utilizes her differences as a strength, and taps into her Latina roots to better her community and help Kroger develop a better understanding of the wants and needs of the Latino community as a whole. Laura likes to label herself as a unicorn, a metaphor to embrace your differences and recognize how these same differences is what makes you special in the first place. We can't think of a better way to illustrate just how beautiful and magical it is to be a Latina. We are proud to be Unicorns! Tune in to listen to Anjelica and Laura speak on higher education, community outreach, and what kind of advantages being a unicorn brings to the table in a professional setting.
