Hispanics are 100% Hispanic and 100% American. They believe in the American dream and are incredible contributors to the country. According to the 2020 Census, US Hispanics grew by 23%, they represent 40% of workforce growth and an astounding 74% of new workers in the United States are Hispanic, their buying power is $2.6 trillion dollars - and the list goes on! Yet, they are often invisible, negatively portrayed, seen as takers. Hispanics contribute so much to the US, and it is time for others to recognize this reality.

Hispanic Stars Rising: Volume II shares stories of the experiences, challenges, and successes of Hispanic Stars nationwide. It showcases the diverse backgrounds, obstacles and contributions made by this strong and resilient population nationwide and shines a light on the beauty of this fundamental American community.
