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.
