Eva Longoria, the beautiful woman known for her acting, make-up, and modeling career, is more than we think. Eva has won many awards and been very successful in her acting career, but few people truly know about her passions and other ventures. Aside from supporting various charities, Eva has started two of her own. Using her passions and perspective, she was able to see the social pain striking the people in the United States.
First, Eva founded a charity that helps children who are developmentally disabled. As a women who saw the prevalence of developmental issues in LatinAmerica, Eva wanted to help. However, her largest endeavor, making her a truly innovative entrepreneur is the “Eva Longoria Foundation,” which aims to close the education gap against Latinas and poverty. There is a large need in this area because many Latinos were raised to be migrant workers, however, now there are vast opportunities for everyone. This foundation supports programs to help Latinos succeed in school and further on to college. Eva, also, expanded the foundation so that Latinas may explore the world of entrepreneurship through careers, mentoring, training, and opportunity.
I think this is remarkable because she saw a true need right here within our own country. Eva was able to see the changes that needed to be made, and she was bale to understand and empathize with these women that she desires to help.
I think that this is a great entrepreneurial story. Longoria found a problem and worked towards a solution. Furthermore, she expanded her idea which shows the iterations in her thought process. Great post Rachel!
It’s so nice to hear about the redemptive entrepreneurship of such a popular celebrity. I love that she took issues that were close to her heart and decided to do something about them. Cool article!
It is great to see popular actors doing amazing things with their money. The foundation Eva has created can have life changing effects on many Latinos and can provide them with a way to think entrepreneurially, much like the way she did. Great post Rachel.
