Getting loud for an excellent cause.
Jennifer Lopez assisted Grameen America’s “Raising Latina Voices” occasion, hung onSept 17 on the Backlot at Universal Studios in Los Angeles.
An eyewitness informs E! News that Ben Affleck was likewise in participation to support his spouse, who talked to over 400 Latina business owners and promoted her newest humanitarian job Limitless Labs’ collaboration with Grameen America, which intends to empower Latina- owned small companies.
“What I saw growing up was that it was very, very difficult for people like me, low-income Latinos, especially women, to get access to capital,” Jennifer shown the crowd. “In fact, we remain sixty percent less likely to get loans from national banks, and that is fundamentally unfair and fundamentally un-American, and it made the promise of the American dream feel partly hollow. That’s why I’m here today, alongside Grameen, to change that.”
The Marry Me star, who rocked a stylish off-white match by Fendi at the occasion, pledged to “make that promise real for everyone” by ensuring “people who look like me or come from places like where I come from have the same opportunity to borrow money to start their own business and make their dreams come true.”
