Latino Business Week:

There’s something different about Latino Business Week in the Twin Cities. It’s not just a series of events—it’s a living reflection of a community that’s building, innovating, and showing up for one another in real time.

For me, this week isn’t about spotlight moments—it’s about long-term impact. As a board member of NAHREP Twin Cities, I get to see firsthand how Latino professionals across real estate, finance, and small business are creating opportunities that stretch beyond any one transaction. We’re talking about legacy. Equity. Generational change.

Latino-owned businesses are reshaping our neighborhoods, not just with storefronts and services—but with culture, flavor, design, and heart. From the entrepreneur launching their second location, to the family business that’s been holding it down for decades, every move made is part of something bigger.

This is why representation matters. Why community matters. And why spaces like NAHREP aren’t optional—they’re essential. We’re not just advocating for homeownership. We’re advocating for access, education, and the kind of leadership that actually reflects the people who live here.

And while I could go on about stats and studies, sometimes the clearest picture is what you see on the ground. People showing up. Resources being shared. Businesses supporting each other not just in words, but in action.

That’s the spirit of Latino Business Week. And honestly? It’s not just a week—it’s the work. Every day.
