READING | Change: How to Make Big Things Happen by Damon Centola: If you want to learn how to effect social change — like encouraging more women to seek public office for a seat at decision-making tables! — this book is a must-read. Learn more.

WATCHING | The Rings of Power on Amazon Prime Video: This new fantasy television series is based off of the works by J.R.R. Tolkien and set before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. One of the plotlines follows the elf Galadriel, who believes that Middle-earth is in danger from the evil of Sauron. We're excited to watch Galadriel's journey from a reckless and ambitious young elf to the seasoned elder statesman we meet in Lord of the Rings! Learn more.

LISTENING TO | Her Dinero Matters podcast by Jen Hemphill: This bilingual podcast is for any woman who want more confidence about their finances and how to handle them. We chose this podcast this month not only because the U.S. celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 through October 15, but also because there are new reports that women's financial health is at a 5-year low — and every woman should be equipped with the knowledge to pursue a healthy financial lifestyle. Learn more.

EXCITED FOR | Latinas Represent Summit on October 8: As members of the ReflectUS Coalition, we are proud partners of the Latinas Represent Summit. Together, we hope to increase the number and diversity of Latinas in public service. Join us on October 8 for a virtual one-day event focused on energizing, connecting, and encouraging everyone who cares about changing the political landscape to take action. Register here.
