Breaking Barriers: The Unstoppable Rise of Lisbeth Perdomo and Her Mission to Empower Latina Entrepreneurs
In the latest episode of Hustle + Heart, I sat down with Lisbeth Perdomo, and within minutes, I understood why everyone calls her unstoppable. Her warm laugh filled our studio as she shared her journey from music educator to founder of Que Mami Inc. But what struck me most wasn't just her success story—it was how she lights up when talking about lifting other women up alongside her.
The Power of Passion & Reinvention
"Music was my first love," Lisbeth told me, her eyes sparkling as she recalled performing in her childhood living room. Life, though, had other plans. When postpartum depression hit after her first child, she found herself in the darkest valley of her life. But it was there, in that vulnerable space, that she discovered her true calling: helping other women navigate the complexities of business, motherhood, and self-empowerment.
"I was sitting on my kitchen floor one night," Lisbeth shared, her voice softening, "and I just knew—I didn't know what was next for me, but I knew I had more to offer." That midnight revelation became Que Mami Inc., a platform dedicated to supporting and elevating Latina entrepreneurs.
Building a Business with Purpose
Picture this: A sunny Sunday morning, a table laden with café con leche and pan dulce, and a group of women sharing their dreams. That was how Que Mami Inc. began—as an intimate brunch where women could be vulnerable about their ambitions and fears. "I'll never forget how many brilliant ideas were born over those brunches," Lisbeth recalls, "but also how many women confessed they were afraid to start."
That fear became her fuel. Through late nights, countless strategy sessions, and unwavering dedication, Lisbeth transformed Que Mami into a thriving boutique PR and business consulting agency. "Every time a client launches their business," she says, beaming with pride, "I feel like a proud mama all over again."
Lessons in Resilience and Growth
When I asked Lisbeth about the secret to her success, she leaned forward, as if sharing a precious family recipe. Success, she explained, isn't about perfect planning—it's about perseverance, adaptability, and an unwavering belief in yourself. Here are three gems she shared:
Embrace Change – "Your detours might just be destiny in disguise," she says with a knowing smile. "Every 'no' led me to a bigger 'yes.'"
Build a Community – "En la unión está la fuerza," she reminds us, echoing her grandmother's wisdom. "Together, we rise higher than we ever could alone."
Stay True to Your Values – "Your authenticity is your superpower," she insists. "Don't dilute your salsa to make it mild for others."
