We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Maria Solis. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Maria below.
Maria, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory behind a risk you’ve taken – whether big or small, walk us through what it was like and how it ultimately turned out.
Starting Latinos Run was a pivotal risk taken during a period of personal struggle after losing my job. Encountering a passionate running coach inspired me to create a running club for the Latino community. Overcoming uncertainties and doubts, the club grew from humble beginnings to a thriving community, fostering unity, empowerment, and healthier lifestyles. This risk transformed my life, providing a renewed purpose and a vibrant movement that continues to inspire and unite.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I launched “Latinos Run” driven by a deep passion for promoting Latino engagement in sports and health, aiming to dismantle barriers and amplify community visibility. Through running meetups, online resources, and events, we’ve created an inclusive space for all fitness levels. Our distinctive approach lies in fostering empowerment and representation, breaking stereotypes, and celebrating collective achievements. I’m most proud of the transformed lives within our community, and I invite you to join us in embracing a healthier, more vibrant future together.
