In this episode of The Latina Confidential, I had the privilege to chat with Imelda Hartley, founder of Imelda Happy Tamales. Imelda's story is one of resilience and determination. She is a survivor of domestic violence and a mother of 14 children, and despite facing numerous challenges, she has managed to build a successful tamales business as she says, she doesn't sell food, she sells hope.
Imelda's journey to success was not an easy one. She immigrated to the United States accidentally at 14 and had to learn to navigate a new country and culture on her own. Despite the odds, Imelda persevered and eventually started her own business selling her delicious tamales.
Recently, Imelda had the incredible opportunity to sell her food at the Superbowl, a dream come true for any entrepreneur. But for Imelda, it was more than just a business opportunity. It was a chance to spread hope and inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter how challenging the journey.
In this episode, we dive deep into Imelda's inspiring story and learn about the lessons she's learned along the way. We also get a glimpse into the passion and dedication that goes into making her delicious tamales. Imelda's story is a testament to the power of hard work and determination, and I am honored to share it with you. You can follow Imelda on Instagram @imeldahappytamales

En este episodio de The Latina Confidential, tuve el privilegio de conversar con Imelda Hartley, fundadora de Imelda Happy Tamales. La historia de Imelda es de resiliencia y determinación. Es sobreviviente de violencia doméstica y madre de 14 hijos, y a pesar de enfrentar numerosos desafíos, ha logrado construir un exitoso negocio de tamales. Como ella misma dice, no vende comida, vende esperanza.
El camino hacia el éxito de Imelda no fue fácil. Inmigró accidentalmente a los Estados Unidos a los 14 años y tuvo que aprender a navegar por un nuevo país y cultura por su cuenta. A pesar de las adversidades, Imelda perseveró y eventualmente comenzó su propio negocio vendiendo sus deliciosos tamales.
Recientemente, Imelda tuvo la increíble oportunidad de vender su comida en el Superbowl, un sueño hecho realidad para cualquier emprendedor. Pero para Imelda, fue más que una oportunidad de negocios. Fue una oportunidad para difundir esperanza e inspirar a otros a perseguir sus sueños, sin importar lo desafiante que sea el camino.
En este episodio, nos sumergimos en la inspiradora historia de Imelda y aprendemos sobre las lecciones que ha aprendido en el camino. También obtenemos un vistazo a la pasión y dedicación que se necesita para hacer sus deliciosos tamales.

In this episode I'm so excited because I welcome my first-ever guest, Jacqueline Villegas, to discuss the important topic of mental health in Latino families.
Jacqueline is a Latina born in Oak Cliff Dallas, she attended UT Arlington and graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor's in Social Work and a minor in Psychology. Growing up in a Latino family with Chicano and Salvadoran roots, Jacqueline experienced firsthand the stigma and shame associated with mental health issues.
In this candid conversation, Jacqueline and I explore the cultural factors that contribute to the stigma surrounding mental health in Latino families, as well as the impact that this stigma can have on individuals and communities. We also share our own personal experiences with mental health and offer advice for others who may be struggling to open up about their own mental health challenges.
As the first guest on the Latina Confidential, Jacqueline sets the tone for a podcast dedicated to amplifying the voices and experiences of Latina women. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt alone or ashamed about their mental health struggles, and for those who want to learn more about how to support loved ones who may be going through a difficult time. You can follow Jacqueline on Instagram @mrs.villegas_wellnessadvocate , you can also send her an email to mrs.villegas@thewellnessadvocate.org
