<h3 className="mt-3">Our Mission</h3>
<p>
As an open source project led by Latina software engineers, our mission is to empower Latinas in the tech industry and foster an
inclusive and supportive community. We recognize the importance of being a Latina and how it intertwines with our expertise in
software engineering and open source development.
</p>
<h3>About Us</h3>
<p>
A community for present & future Latina software engineers created to connect, elevate and empower the next generation of tech leaders.
Less than 15% of engineers are women; 2% are Latina. We want that to change! Latina Dev is an open-source directory of
Latina software engineers at the student, IC, and leadership levels.
Our goal is to increase visibility and access to valuable opportunities.
</p>

<h3>Who are Latinas?</h3>
<p>
To be considered Latina/Latino/Latinx, you or your ancestors must have come from a Latin American country: Mexico, Dominican Republic,
Puerto Rico, Cuba, French-speaking Caribbean nations, Central or South America.
</p>

<p>
A nation cannot be inherently referred to as <q>Latina.</q> The term <q>Latina</q> functions as a noun to characterize an individual,
as defined by <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Latino">Merriam-Webster</a>, either as a <q>native or resident of Latin America</q> or someone <q>of Latin American heritage
residing in the United States.</q>
</p>

<p>
<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/list-of-countries-in-Latin-America-2061416">Britannica<q></q>s</a> information confirms that Latin American countries comprise over 20 nations spanning North, Central,
and South America, as well as the Caribbean. These nations encompass Puerto Rico as a U.S. territory, Haiti, Panama, Guyana,
Bolivia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba, Saint Barthélemy, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, French Guiana, El Salvador, Venezuela,
Ecuador, Chile, Suriname, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Brazil, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Saint Martin.
</p>

<p>
Please note that this list includes some countries, but it may not be exhaustive. If you believe that there are
other countries we should include, we encourage you to get in touch with us. Our aim is to promote inclusivity and build a sense of
community, and we would be delighted to welcome your input and suggestions.
</p>


<h3>What does it mean to be a Latina Dev? </h3>
<p>
Being a Latina within the context of our open source project signifies the fusion of our Latin American heritage with our
passion for technology and collaboration. It embodies our commitment to leveraging open source principles to drive innovation,
create impactful solutions, and bridge the diversity gap in the tech world.
</p>
<p>
We take great pride in embracing our cultural identity while actively contributing to the open source community.
As Latina software engineers, we bring diverse perspectives, unique experiences, and novel approaches to problem-solving.
We challenge stereotypes, dismantle barriers, and demonstrate the incredible talent and potential that exists within our community.
</p>
<p>
Through our open source project, we provide a platform for Latina software engineers to collaborate, share knowledge,
and advance their skills. We believe in the power of mentorship, peer support, and skill-building initiatives to
empower Latinas and cultivate their leadership abilities in the tech industry.
</p>
<p>
Being a Latina software engineer in an open source project embodies resilience, determination, and the drive to make a lasting impact.
It signifies using our technical expertise to drive positive change, promote inclusivity, and create opportunities for
underrepresented individuals. We strive to inspire future generations of Latinas to pursue careers in technology and contribute
to the open source ecosystem.
</p>
<p>
In essence, as an open source project led by Latina software engineers, we embrace our cultural heritage while making significant
contributions to the world of technology. We are committed to empowering Latinas, fostering diversity, and building
an inclusive tech community. Together, we are reshaping the narrative and opening doors for Latinas to thrive in the open source
and tech space.
