**Happy Labor Day!** 🎉👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

Today, we honor the hard work and contributions of workers across the nation. As we celebrate, it’s important to reflect on the history that shaped our labor force, especially within the Latino community.

One pivotal chapter is the Bracero Program, which ran from 1942 to 1964. This program brought millions of Mexican laborers to the United States to work in agriculture and railroads, filling critical labor shortages during and after World War II. Despite the challenges and hardships they faced, these workers played a vital role in building the backbone of America’s agricultural industry.

As we enjoy this day of rest, let’s remember the resilience, determination, and sacrifices of the Braceros and countless others who have paved the way for future generations. Their legacy continues to inspire us as we strive for equity and fairness in the workplace.

Here’s to all the hardworking individuals making a difference every day. ¡Feliz Día del Trabajo! 💪🇺🇸🇲🇽

🚀 ¡Atencion, Raza Fam! NVIDIA just dropped some 🔥 numbers! 📊💰

What does this mean for tech & AI? 🤔 For investors? 💡 For Latino representation in finance? 👥

Drop your thoughts below! 👇🏽 Let’s discuss how we can ride this AI wave! 🌊

📚 Semiconductor Economics 101:
Semiconductors are the 🧠 of modern tech. NVIDIA’s chips power AI, gaming, and more. Here’s why they matter:

1. High barriers to entry = limited competition 🏰
2. Economies of scale = lower costs as production increases 📉
3. Cyclical demand = boom and bust cycles 🎢

Result? Companies like NVIDIA can see MASSIVE growth during boom times. But watch out for those busts! 👀

Understanding this cycle is key for smart investing. Ready to dive deeper? 🏊‍♂️💰

Repping the vibrant spirit of LA with these shots of a classic purple low rider at Venice Beach, originally shared by Nike. Just as this car embodies the fusion of culture and style, Nike’s business case study highlights the power of innovation and branding in driving success. Founded by Phil Knight in 1964, Nike has grown from humble beginnings to a powerhouse with over $44 billion in annual revenue. Knight’s journey, detailed in his book Shoe Dog, shows how he struggled to build Nike at the beginning, overcoming numerous challenges and hurdles. This resilience and determination resonate deeply with the Hispanic community’s own journey of overcoming obstacles and striving for excellence. At Raza Collective, we aim to empower the next generation of Latino leaders in high finance to create their own paths and leave their mark. Let’s drive forward with purpose and passion! 🚗💜
