What they say about us

“In the program, I found more than tools to prepare for interviews or polish my CV. I found a tribe. Talented, resilient women who, like me, were navigating tough times. Women who reminded me that we are not the problem-that we can choose ourselves again, take charge of our professional life and steer them wherever we want.

Thanks to Laboratoria, I recovered something that I thought was lost: purpose. I reconnected with my voice, with my strength, and my drive. I remembered how much I have to contribute and that no impostor syndrome will ever silence me again. Today I am building a new professional chapter-- one that’s challenging and much more aligned with who I am.

Ángela Aviña Jiménez

"I'm convinced that initiatives like Laboratoria are essential for women who, for different reasons, have lost confidence in themselves—and spaces like this help us regain it. Connecting with other women going through the same thing was incredibly valuable. Sharing experiences with people who understood made all the difference.

Today, I approach my new career move with real confidence. Beyond just having a job, I now feel empowered to find one that truly aligns with what I want and need. That's something I never thought possible before."

Jessica Esparza Espinosa

"The program exceeded my expectations. I loved how it helped us recognize our value and see what we have to contribute. I noticed a major shift in my motivation, my resume, and how I approach my job search. Today I have an amazing job."
