Latinos as Job Creators: Latinnovating – Latino-Led Innovation in the Green.

Thrive Publishing announced the first book about Latino-led innovation and leadership in the green economy. Latinnovating: Green American Jobs and the Latinos Creating Them is the brainchild of a Latina military officer turned entrepreneur, University of California-Berkeley alumna Graciela Tiscareño-Sato.

Magda Cardenas, Director of Marketing and Communications for the Greater Washington D.C. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce states “Graciela highlights incredible success stories of Latino leaders not only participating in but creating business opportunities in the green economy. These stories are a true source for inspiration for young people and for professionals in transition. As Hispanic owned businesses play an increasingly important role as engines driving economic recovery, Latinnovating shows us how this community is also making a difference towards a better planet.”

Ms. Tiscareño-Sato shares, “I have written these 10 case studies to provide our young people and job seekers information and inspiration they can immediately use to position themselves for the green economy. I’ve chosen innovation leaders, men and women who are Latinos, to demonstrate to mainstream America that educated Latinos are applying their work ethic, talent, innovative thinking, culturally-engrained environmental advocacy, and creative spirit to improve America for all Americans.”
