Speaking from Experience,
Speaking for Change

Marcela is a sought-after speaker and podcast guest who inspires audiences to break free from outdated narratives and embody who they truly are. She speaks powerfully on Becoming the Woman of Your Dreams, a deeply personal and universal message drawn from her own story of transformation. Her signature methodology, THE C.R.E.A.T.E. FRAMEWORK™, guides individuals to challenge their inherited beliefs, reconnect with their truth, and take aligned action toward a life of purpose and peace.

In addition to personal development and spirituality, Marcela shares insights from her more than 25 years as an entrepreneur and community leader. She brings to life the challenges and victories of building a mission-driven career while raising a son, navigating cultural complexity, and learning to trust herself.

Earlier in her career, Marcela developed the Acculturation Pillars framework to help brands better understand the layered identities within the U.S. Hispanic market. Her long-standing signature talk, “You Want to Reach the Hispanic Market—Which Ones?”, has guided corporate, nonprofit, and government leaders to more authentic and effective engagement with diverse communities. Her early work in multicultural strategy laid the foundation for the equity-centered communications she champions today.

Whether she’s on stage, behind a microphone, or in an intimate workshop, Marcela speaks with clarity, candor, and heart—resonating especially with women who are done performing and ready to live from a place of deep self-trust.
