I’m Araceli Ruiz O’Clair, based in Denver. I’m a proud Latina, a lifelong educator currently serving as a Director of Schools. For over 20 years, I've worked inside complex public school systems, doing everything from mentoring principals to developing leadership teams. Today, I use all that real-world experience as an ICF-credentialed executive coach. My Big Challenge: Social media! 📲 My entire career has been spent face-to-face in the field. Trying to compress years of leadership and human-centered work into short, punchy digital content feels like a totally different language to me. I’m here to learn from you all and offer any support I can to the community. Thanks for creating this space!

Hey everyone, I’m Lucia Co-Founder of Bolta and I joined this community because I genuinely believe Latino founders are building some of the most revolutionary companies in the ecosystem right now. I wanted to contribute to that momentum with Bolta, an AI-powered content operating system, and the reality? I built this because it was my exact problem. As founders, we’re constantly told to post every day, build a personal brand, and grow an audience, all while trying to, you know, actually build a company. We’re moving toward agentic workflows, but our core mission is simple: help founders stay visible online without burning out or turning into fake internet personalities. So excited to connect with other Latino builders here, share learnings, and hopefully cross paths with future users, partners, and investors along the way! 🚀
