Latina blogger pioneer and CEO of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latinabloggersconnect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Latina Bloggers Connect<\/a> <span class=\"xn-person\">Ana Flores<\/span> joins a powerful roster of experts, advocates, and grassroots and business leaders for the first ever <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/the-white-house\/together-we-are-stronger-7b7c0aebf8b6#.c1y70t7fy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">United State of Women Summit<\/a> taking place on <span class=\"xn-chron\">June 14<\/span> at the White House. Developed by the Council on Women and Girls, together with the Department of State, the Department of Labor, the Aspen Institute and Civic Nation, the United State of Women will bring together advocates of gender equality to highlight the progress made, identify the challenges that remain, and chart the course for addressing them.<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Flores, who has dedicated her career to empowering Hispanic America by providing outlets for growth in the digital space, will form part of a panel &#8220;Crosscutting-Revolutionizing Gender Norms,&#8221; moderated by <span class=\"xn-person\">Jess Weiner<\/span>, CEO of Talk to Jess and taking place from <span class=\"xn-chron\">10:50 a.m. to 11:50 a.m. ET<\/span>.

I have spent the last ten years creating content and opportunities for Latina storytellers, who have been historically underrepresented in the media,&#8221; says Flores. &#8220;As parents, we can influence the next generation to help them learn and dream without limits and undo the long-lasting effects of machismo that still affects many Hispanic families.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 2009, Flores launched <a href=\"http:\/\/spanglishbaby.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SpanglishBaby<\/a>, the award-winning community and resource for parents raising bilingual and bicultural kids, to fill a vacuum for culturally-relevant family content.
