Empower LATAM UK’s Post

LAMP 2025 Mentee & Mentor moments: Frida Elizabeth Ramírez Ortiz & Arianna Carrizo-Ruiz! We’re showcasing some of the mentee/mentor partnerships that we’ve created as part of LAMP 2025. This time we have some great photos from the sessions that Frida (mentee) and Ariana (mentor) have had during the LAMP 2025. This is what Frida had to say about her experience: “When I matched with Ari, I didn’t know what to expect — but from our first conversation, it felt easy to connect. We’re not identical, but our personalities complement each other in ways that made every session feel both natural and deeply meaningful. I live in Glasgow, but life brought me to London for a while — and that opened the door to meet her in person. In our first meeting she invited me to the Braze offices, where she works. I got to see her in her element — leading with clarity, kindness, and confidence. I left feeling inspired and full of questions — the good kind, the ones that move you forward. Since then, we’ve shared more than just insights. From conversations at an Empower LATAM UK event to a long talk under the heat of a 32-degree day, we’ve explored everything from career paths to inner doubts. She’s guided me through mock interviews, asked me the tough questions, and reminded me — consistently — to trust what I bring to the table. Mentorship, at its best, brings out the best in you. That’s what this has been. I’m still learning, still growing, but I carry this experience with me — and I’m so grateful for it.” We want to congratulate both for the amazing mentorship relationship that they’ve created. It shows the power of mentorship for young Latin Americans in the UK. #empowerlatamuk #LAMP #latinamericans
