Latina media dynamo and women’s empowerment advocate Nely Galán, dubbed the “Tropical Tycoon” by The New York Times Magazine, is one of the entertainment industry’s savviest firebrand talents. A Cuban immigrant and self-made media mogul, Galán was the first Latina President of Entertainment for a U.S. television network (Telemundo). She is an Emmy Award-winning producer of more than 600 episodes of television in Spanish and English, including the FOX hit reality series “The Swan.”

After becoming self-made on her own terms, Galán has made it her mission to teach women—regardless of age or background—how they, too, can become entrepreneurs. She founded, The Adelante Movement presented by Coca-Cola, an organization that unites and empowers Latinas economically and entrepreneurially. In addition, she authored the NY Times bestseller, Self Made: Becoming Empowered, Self-Reliant, and Rich in Every Way, written to unite all women on a quest for an economic future they control.

“I realized that my most meaningful success has come from financial self-reliance, and I wanted to teach that to other women. In 2012, I started a nonprofit, Adelante, a live event and digital learning platform that empowers and trains women in entrepreneurship. In Spanish, adelante means ‘Move it! Now! Let’s go!’”, said Galán. “This WFF and Coca-Cola hosted seminar on April 2 will capture the true meaning of self-made. I am self-made and want all women to become self-made too, achieving their own economic independence and living a rich life in every way.”

Renowned speaker and author Simon T. Bailey is the leader of the “brilliance” movement – helping more than 1 million people find their brilliance, shift their thinking and produce sustainable results. His team recently introduced the Shift Your Brilliance System® that teaches individuals and organizations how to create meaningful results in the new economy. A percentage of the proceeds from the Shift Your Brilliance System® benefit the U.S. Dream Academy, a non-profit organization that believes a child with a dream is a child with a future.

“Shift Your Brilliance happens when you find your own individual spark. This sets in motion a series of events, circumstances, situations, and chance encounters that empower you to make a positive impact on the world,” said Bailey. “Shifting your thinking will allow you to get to the next level in your career. This event will help everyone move forward brilliantly.”

“I am committed to supporting WFF on its strategic mission to develop and advance women in the food industry. This is the ‘industry of opportunity’ and a great place to start and end your career,” said Hattie Hill, President & CEO of WFF.

“The keynote speakers and panel at the WFF Becoming Self Made in the Food Industry Brunch & Learn will provide economic empowerment solutions for entrepreneurs looking to grow their businesses.”

WFF is the food industry’s premier leadership development organization whose mission is to advance women to the C-suite and onto the boards of companies operating in the food industry ecosystem, the second largest private industry in the United States. Statistics prove that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity and inclusion are 15% more likely to have financial returns above the national median for their industry.

The Becoming Self Made in the Food Industry Brunch & Learn event is co-hosted by WFF and Coca-Cola, on behalf of Coca-Cola’s 5by20 initiative to enable the economic empowerment of 5 million women entrepreneurs by the year 2020. In April 2016, The Coca-Cola Company announced that its 5by20 initiative had reached a major milestone, impacting 1.2 million women across 60 countries since its launch in late 2010.
