Reflecting on her upbringing, Aurora shares how being raised by an indigenous Mexican mother and an African American father exposed her to a rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and beliefs, laying the groundwork for her exceptional skills as a marketer. She draws inspiration from her mother's resilience in the face of criticism for speaking Spanish to her children, and her grandmother's teachings instilled a sense of pride in her ancestry while providing her with the tools to navigate the world as a black woman. Moreover, Aurora emphasizes the importance of breaking generational cycles of debt and advocating for economic empowerment for all individuals, regardless of their background. She introduces the concept of "Jefa," embodying healing, redefining leadership through love and empathy, and embracing wealth as a means of economic empowerment for everyone.
