Short Description: Ganas Over Grit is more than a book—it’s a movement to empower individuals to break barriers and achieve their dreams through resilience and determination. Rooted in my journey, this initiative inspires young professionals, first-generation students, and entrepreneurs to harness their inner drive (ganas) to overcome obstacles and thrive. By supporting this project, you’re helping to provide resources, mentorship, and inspiration to those striving for success despite the odds. Join us in creating a lasting impact!

Project Overview: I’m excited to introduce Ganas Over Grit, a book and movement dedicated to inspiring individuals to break barriers and achieve their dreams. Rooted in my journey of overcoming adversity and striving for success, Ganas Over Grit isn’t just a book—it’s a call to action. It’s about fostering perseverance, resilience, and the power of cultural identity to fuel ambition.

Why This Matters: Too often, we are told that success comes only through grit. But I believe that ganas—the relentless, inner drive—is the true game-changer. This book shares stories, insights, and practical lessons for those facing obstacles, whether in education, business, or personal growth. My goal is to equip young professionals, first-generation students, and entrepreneurs with the mindset and tools to thrive despite the odds.
