Viva la Mujer - Jefa Chats 2026

💃🏽 Jefa Chats is Back! And this time, we're going deeper.

Join us for an intimate evening created by jefas, for jefas, where Latina entrepreneurs and professionals come together for honest, real conversations about the full picture of building a business.

We’ll be talking about the things that don’t always make it onto Instagram: mental health, burnout, balancing business and life, navigating growth, and what sustainable success actually looks like. It's a conversation. Your voice matters too.

Come ready to connect, share, laugh, learn, and leave with more than just inspiration. ✨

🔥 WHAT TO EXPECT

🎤 Fireside Chat | An intimate conversation with Latina entrepreneurs and professionals sharing real experiences, lessons, challenges, and wins. Join Karina Mora of Elevating La Cultura, Sugeiri Martinez of Mestiza, and Xochitl Carmona of Werk Mija for a casual fireside chat about the realities of building a business, creating something meaningful, and making it work. And yes, your voice is part of the conversation too!

🏆 Jefa Awards | We’ll celebrate the incredible women entrepreneurs selected as our 2026 Viva La Mujer Market Jefa Award recipients.

🍕 Pizza Party | Because no good jefa gathering is complete without food! Enjoy pizza, drinks, Chicago vibes, and time to connect with other mujeres.

🤝🏽 Community | Meet fellow entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and community members in a welcoming and supportive space.

🛍️ Jefa Marketplace | Interested in checking out local businesses? Some of our featured Jefa Award recipients and Sponsors will be there to share their products and services.
