Purchase options and add-ons

Focusing on the first five years of a young professional's career, First-Gen, NextGen explores the formation of first-generation Latinx individual's identities by redefining what it means to be Latinx in the American workplace. The reader dives headfirst into interviews with Latinx executive leaders, activists, and entrepreneurs who discuss this generation's management of an all too complex environment.

Banuelos sheds light on a generation that is capable of enacting positive reform by investigating:
  • Key accelerants Latinx corporate leaders used to advance their careers when they were young professionals
  • Unique challenges Latinx employees face in the workplace and how to overcome them
  • Targeted approaches for workplaces to become more inclusive of Latinx individuals and their employee base as a whole
  • Ways for organizations to go beyond the "business case" for diversity and understand that, when all individuals thrive as who they are, companies are better equipped to meet the needs of their customers and audiences

Victoria Banuelos' First-Gen, NextGenwill give readers a sense of hope for the future of the American workforce and a better understanding of how to navigate it.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Victoria Banuelos designs and executes content marketing strategies for culturally diverse brands. She draws on a decade of experience in communication management to understand how organizations foster a greater sense of belonging with both internal teams and customers. Committed to supporting nonprofits with impact, Victoria serves on the Young Professionals Advisory Board for LAMusArt in Los Angeles, California.

After several years of conversations with Latinx students about their college and workplace concerns, Victoria began to notice a pattern in their challenges. Not only did she relate, but also realized that some of the lessons she had learned along her professional career were unique to a first-generation upbringing and not often shared.

And so, the framework for 'First-Gen, NextGen' was born.

    First-Gen, Next-Gen is an absolute must-read for any young Latinx individual. Banuelos brilliantly captures and gives voice to the first-generation experience that so many share, and provides particular and unique insight into the Hispanic-American and Latinx aspect of the first-generation upbringing and culture in the United States.

    Through her personal narratives and experiences, case studies, and conversations with Latinx professionals from a wide range of industries and careers, Banuelos provides a comprehensive and powerful guide for any young Latinx professional who is trying to figure out how to start their career and to learn how to navigate the American workplace and various professional spaces.

    As a high school teacher of primarily Latinx students, First-Gen, Next-Gen is exactly the type of resource my students need but have been missing for so long. While containing invaluable professional advice and direction, the book is an incredibly enjoyable and relatable read, particularly for young Hispanic-Americans who will identify with Banuelos’ experience and upbringing. Banuelos’ communication style and lived experiences will resonate with all first-generation Latinx Americans (and likely all first-generation Americans as a whole), and provide readers with a familiar and comforting setting to begin the process of career exploration and development.

    First-Gen, Next-Gen is also a critical read for any employers or allies who have a genuine commitment to making American workplaces more diverse and equitable. A phenomenal and extremely necessary book for America’s evolving workforce!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very insightful read!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2021
    First-Gen, NextGen was an incredibly insightful read. It gives a thoughtful view into a world that is both familiar and yet incredibly different. While many of the experiences shared in the book are in reference to first-generation Latinx, I believe the topics to be highly relatable for many first-generation immigrants as well. I found this commonality to be especially intriguing and expect that the advice and stories shared in this book could benefit a broad audience. This book is well-articulated and very-well written. I would highly recommend it to others, especially those looking to expand their perspective!

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a powerful Book!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2021
    I wish there was a book out there like First-Gen, NextGen when I was graduating college and starting my career. This is a wonderful book for Latinx to jump start their paths, but in all honesty any young professional could greatly benefit from reading Banuelo's insights. It's a must read for any young person battling the career jungle.
