Don't miss this unique opportunity to meet Martha Niño, who will be delivering a TEDx Talk at Babson College. With over 25 years of experience in Silicon Valley and being one of only 2% of Latinas in her field, Martha is the author of "The Other Side: From a Shack to Silicon Valley," a powerful memoir that chronicles her transformation from poverty in central Mexico to breaking barriers in Silicon Valley.

After her TEDx Talk, Martha will join us for an intimate conversation about her extraordinary path to success. Having spent almost two decades at Adobe, where she serves as a Senior Leader in Strategic Partnerships, Martha's story gained momentum following a transformative keynote speech that led to her authoring her powerful memoir and establishing the Martha Niño Foundation in 2023.

In this special presentation, Martha will share:
- Her remarkable journey from undocumented immigrant to Silicon Valley leader
- The importance of mentorship and having "believers" who open doors
- How one job can break the cycle of poverty
- The power of storytelling in creating change
- Lessons learned along her path to success

Praised by Apple Pioneer Guy Kawasaki as being "as compelling and inspirational" as Jane Goodall and Steve Wozniak, Martha's message of hope resonates deeply with audiences. Through her foundation's work, speaking engagements, and collaboration with Book Fairies, she has helped distribute thousands of books to empower young individuals with her message of hope.

Join us for an evening of inspiration as Martha shares her powerful message of hope, help, hustle, and heart, proving that the impossible is indeed possible.
