Description
In this episode…
John Gomez and David Arreguin welcome Fabiola Gálvez, founder and CEO of Gente Bonita Magazine, for an inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, and connecting Latino communities across the border.
Originally from Mexicali, Mexico, Fabiola shares how she rebuilt her life after moving to San Diego and eventually transformed an unexpected professional setback into a business opportunity. When the newspaper she worked with stopped publishing, she refused to abandon her first advertising client. Instead, she launched Gente Bonita Magazine, creating a platform dedicated to celebrating Latino entrepreneurs, professionals, and community leaders.
Fabiola also discusses the creation of Gente Connect, the importance of networking, and her commitment to strengthening relationships between San Diego, Tijuana, and Mexicali. Recorded at Celebrando Latinas, this episode explores the power of persistence, community, and faith in building something meaningful.
