The beauty of unlearning is that anyone can do it.
The question is how do we unlearn?
Ingrid never really fit in a box or category. She was born and raised in Mexico and then went to Texas for boarding school. So at times, she was too Mexican for the norms of an American boarding school. And in returning to Mexico, she was almost too American for her Mexican colleagues. Either she was Mexican or she was an American.
And while she admits that she initially struggled with the “either/or” mentality, Ingrid began to think about what a “both/and” mindset – one where she claimed an identity where she was both American and Mexican and beyond.
To fully embrace a “both/and” identity, Ingrid needed to unlearn the categories and boxes that limit so many of us. As a result, this mindset has changed how she views social justice, identity and spirituality.
Through the power of Unlearning Ingrid founded and leads two award winning globally recognized organizations:

Testimonials
Results I have helped create
Ingrid so graciously presented at my company’s Women Who Lead employee resource group (ERG) at my request – and the group of women on the call were so impressed. We started unconventionally, with meditation and visualization, and the impact was felt immediately! We were able to dig deep inside ourselves and create a safe space for everyone to share their feelings and thoughts. The feedback from the session was: “I learned so much about myself,” and “I feel so refreshed!” Sometimes we need to slow down and be curious and realize these moments and the community we create from them are what make the biggest impact on ourselves and our society. Ingrid helped us do that!

Had the opportunity to work with Ingrid on a virtual Town hall that focused on cultural diversity in the workplace. It was such a pleasure to work with an individual who had the experience and knowledge on topic that is encompassing of many intricate things. Ingrid brings such a high level of professionalism, candor and possesses the ability to connect with people. Looking forward to work with her again.

Ingrid’s passion is infectious and her spirit indomitable. Nielsen’s Women Business Resource Group, Women in Nielsen (WIN), first began working with Ingrid in early 2021. Many of our representatives attended her galvanizing event, the Women’s Ambassador Forum in Spring of 2021. This forum served as a model and inspiration for our own leadership summit, which we held in September 2021. The WIN BRG and Nielsen have continued to work with Ingrid, supporting such initiatives as “Coding for a Change”, not only because we believe in Ingrid’s mission but because she is an inspiration to each and every one of us. She brings light to every project and hope to every story.

Ingrid is an incredibly powerful uplifting speaker. I admire her amazing work as an activist for women and passion to champion the women empowerment movement across the globe. I worked with her during our first global summit for the WIN (Women In Nielsen) resource business group, hosting over seven hundred associates globally. She is phenomenal, engaging, personable, energetic and so knowledgeable. She knows how to get people to connect even in a virtual format. I am already looking forward to finding another opportunity to partner again with Ingrid.
