Moneda Moves (154): Exploring Identity Through Ecosystem Building | Marcia Chong Rosado
Feliz miercoles, Moneda Moves listeners! Today, a new episode is out as we continue speaking with multi-hyphenates in business.
We feature Marcia Chong Rosado (she/her/ella), who faces multidimensionality head on. She holds multiple difference identities within her work, but also in her life as she’s navigated cultures across continents, socioeconomic spaces, and industries. Her goal? To bridge venture and civic engagement worlds. Marcia operates within and outside of evolving labels, including identifying as multiracial from diverse ancestors, Ecuadorian, as an immigrant to the United States. You can listen to our interview here.
Among the roles she holds today: She is a Director at Cinematica Labs, focused on building mission-oriented entrepreneurial ecosystems in partnerships with ecosystem builders, like Pharrell Williams’ Black Ambition. Marcia is also a Coach with the National Science Foundation’s Convergence Accelerator program uplifting teams of scientists addressing national-scale societal challenges. She is involved in civic engagement as a Commissioner on the Worcester County Commission on the Status of Women to promote rights and opportunities for women and girls, and as an Advisory Board Member for the Commonwealth Seminar, a privately funded program focused on “Opening the Doors of Government to Everyone”.
Marcia’s work in venture ecosystem building, startups, nonprofits, and partnerships has been noted by Amplify Latinx, HBCUvc 31 under 31, Boston Business Journal, Harvard Law & Policy Review, and Forbes.
Today, we talk with Marcia about the navigating identity, community and venture ecosystem building in the startups ecosystem and what an equitable future looks like. Take a listen. No te lo quieres perder.
Con poder,
Lyanne
