Lastly, Samí is a masterful storyteller, guiding the reader through every moment of the rollercoaster. Firstly, though, being immersed in her genuine and sometimes difficult journey will change how you think and act in the world of work, yes, but foremost in the world of Yourself. Immerse yourself in Becoming La Jefa for your own highest self.

Wow! This book takes you on such an emotional journey! You’ll find yourself celebrating her wins, getting angry at the injustices, crying during family moments, and laughing out loud thanks to Samí’s bold and witty personality. It’s also full of lessons—her stories of building her business are inspiring and eye-opening. I highly recommend it to anyone who owns a business or is thinking of starting one, especially within the Latino community. You’ll feel seen, supported, and reminded that you’re not alone. Samí is a true fighter, and her story will stay with you.

Samí’s words come to life in such a beautiful and powerful way. Raw, heartfelt, and at times, heartbreakingly honest. Her story isn’t just personal, it’s ancestral—there is beauty, light, and that unshakable fuerza we know so well.

Samí reminds us that becoming La Jefa is more than cos playing and performing while wearing a power suit or engaging in backhanded bicha moves to rise. Rather, it is about never abandoning your core, your humanity, sisters, and that success is not a solo act or a quick sprint, rather, a spectacular and sometimes exhausting but mostly exhilarating walk with an amalgam of ancestors, mentors, colleagues, family, intuition, grime, and yes, a little celestial luck.”
