Becoming La Jefa: Book Signing & Presentation

Published: November 2, 2025; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

A powerful story rooted in identity and told with raw authenticity.

Step into an evening of empowerment and culture at Casa Pa’lante as we celebrate Becoming La Jefa: The Angst and Joys of a Latina Carving Her Path in America — the bold new business memoir by Puerto Rican author, CEO, and storyteller Samí Haiman-Marrero.

This isn’t just a book launch — it’s a movement. Becoming La Jefa is a call to action for women who are done asking for permission and are ready to wield their power unapologetically.

Expect an evening filled with inspiration, connection, and unforgettable moments hosted by Pa’lante Rum as we celebrate Latina leadership, storytelling, and the power of taking up space in a world that wasn’t built for us — but can’t move forward without us.

What to Expect

• Personalized Signed Copies — Pre-order your book and receive it in person, signed by the author. Each copy includes an exclusive La Jefa machete-bookmark, available only on the book tour.
• An Evening of Culture & Conversation — Gather with fellow visionaries, changemakers, and leaders committed to building a more inclusive future.
• A Collective Celebration — Every stop of the book tour is a reminder that our stories matter, our voices belong, and our power is non-negotiable.
• Enjoy a Complimentary Pa’lante Rum Custom Cocktail skillfully crafted for this special celebration.
