This study surveyed over 1,000 moms, who self-identified as Hispanic, between 18 to 49 years of age with children age 2 to 18. Data collected from the research will allow Discovery Familia to continue to shape a network devoted to her and touch on important issues that are priorities to Hispanic women and their children. Some of the study highlights are the following:On Empowerment: Seeing her own personal achievement is not exclusive from being a great mother for the Hispanic mom. 82% say that one of their greatest goals is to be a successful career person. 76% want to graduate from college and 79% look to be an inspiration for her children.
