Female Influencers
By Katrina Kreis
Many women in our world are influential, and many in Latin America are not always noticed. Being influential can come in many forms such as something as simple as dressing differently to taking a political stance thru their music that creates movements. These women have gone through a lot in their lives to pursue their careers. Some have had to give up their homes, and others were fortunate to be noticed. Let's look at some of these artists that were influential in Latin America and why.
