Transforming & Liberating Latinas Everyday in Every Way

A Letter From Pat

Dear Mija, how are you really? Today you came to mind and I wondered how you are doing amidst the world events! How are you keeping fear in check? I know you are searching or else you wouldn’t be reading this letter at this moment. I know who you are. I am you. As a woman of color you are wondering how other professional women are doing it. You’re looking for a mentor someone who may have had some experiences that can shed some light on what feels sometimes dark and lonely. You’re curious about coaching but you’re not sure what it is and frankly you’ve never invested in your own professional development. This is a great place to get started. Dream Big MIJA! You deserve it!

Mija Mentoring 2
Coaching For Latinas

Mija Leadership Coaching is a movement of Latinas committed to stepping into their power. We guide and create space for you to thrive.

Who We Are

Mija Leadership Coaching is more than a service—it’s a movement. We embolden Latinas to lead with confidence, courage, and clarity. At the heart of Mija Leadership Coaching is Pat Sosa VerDuin, a mentor, coach, and advocate who believes that leadership is not about titles—it’s about relationships. It’s about knowing who you are, honoring where you come from, and stepping into the fullness of your power.

Pat built a career in leadership and advocacy, walking into rooms where Latinas were few and far between. But she soon realized that real success wasn’t just about opening doors for herself—it was about holding them open for others. Mija Leadership Coaching was born out of this commitment: to create spaces where Latinas are seen, heard, and supported in their personal and professional journeys.

How We Serve:

Abriendo Caminos

One generation reaching back to lift the next is how we forge a brighter future.

The Mija and Friends Fund is built on the power of Latinas helping Latinas—creating pathways for the next generation of leaders to thrive. Invest in our community’s future and help us pave the way for success.
