    Title:  Las Raíces de Chicana Feminism: Resistance and Transformation
    Abstract:   With additional author: Rosalva Resendiz

    This article presents the historical roots (raíces) of Chicana feminism, chronicles Chicana activism of the 1960s into the present, and details the challenges and opposition faced by both the Chicano and white feminist movements. Moreover, the implications of the rise of feminist thought/discourse and its advancement of women of color in academia are discussed. Chicana feminism has been instrumental to reinforce the efforts of Chicanas and Chicana/Latina-focused groups such as MALCS (Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social) to question and challenge norms, practices, mainstream beliefs, and the status quo to create social change.

    Title:  Testimonios of Immigrant Latina Breast Cancer Survivors: A Chicana Feminist Perspective on Survivorship, Conocimientos, and Collective Healing
    Abstract:   This paper aims to contribute to a broader understanding of the lived experiences of Latina immigrants as they confronted and survived their breast cancer diagnosis. Guided by Chicana and Latina feminist principles, we gathered testimonios that explore and document how twelve immigrant Latinas battled breast cancer and cultivated individual and collective healing strategies. Through their testimonios, we see how immigrant Latinas made sense of their diagnosis and survivorship, reconstructed understandings of femininity and familismo and overcame the challenges of navigating the U.S. medical system as Spanish speakers. Their testimonios also reveal how Latina immigrant breast cancer survivors built support systems within their communities and local organizations. We argue the urgency of linguistic and culturally relevant support for immigrant Latinas surviving breast cancer who are often marginalized by the medical health care system in the U.S.

    Title:  Fuerza, Cambios, e Identidad: Exploring the Impact of the MANA de San Diego Latina Success Leadership Program
    Abstract:   Latinas have been systematically excluded from positions of leadership across industries and professions in the United States. As a result, they often lack role models, mentors, and sponsors to guide them effectively. Latina leaders overcome substantial challenges and obstacles to obtain their positions of leadership. Organizations use leadership development programs to enhance the skills and abilities of their leaders and Latinas are often overlooked and are not given access to these opportunities. A community-based, culturally tailored leadership development program, the MANA de San Diego Latina Success Leadership Program (LSLP), was created to address such challenges and obstacles. Findings from a qualitative study indicated that the experience provided a safe space for Latinas to develop a nuanced leader identity—a Latina space. By being around other Latina leaders where they shared stories of struggles and successes, participants experienced heightened confidence and empowerment that led to direct changes in their leadership behaviors and career trajectories.
