In this episode, I sit down with Jesse García Knowles, a bold and visionary leader whose work has transformed communities across Nashville and beyond. Now serving as the Executive Director of ELLA – Entrepreneurial Latina Leaders of America Jesse shares her powerful story of service, culture, and building spaces where Latina voices are seen, heard, and celebrated.

From grassroots organizing to boardrooms, Jesse has dedicated her life to uplifting others. In our conversation, she opens up about her path to leadership, the challenges Latinas still face in entrepreneurship, and how ELLA is breaking barriers by empowering the next generation of Latina changemakers.
