The best Latino ERG events don’t just celebrate, they equip. They give members language for experiences they’ve been carrying without words, and they send people back to their desks with something they can actually use.

That’s the standard Denise Soler Cox sets every time she takes a stage.

Denise is a keynote speaker, award-winning filmmaker, and author of the forthcoming Simon & Schuster book What Will They Say? a landmark work exploring the inherited cultural rules that shape the professional lives of first-generation Latina professionals. Her keynote translates that research into a live experience that Latino ERG members consistently describe as the first time they’ve heard their own story told out loud in a professional setting.

What makes her a particularly strong fit for ERG events is her ability to hold the room’s full complexity. She speaks directly to the Latino experience without flattening it. She names the tension between cultural loyalty and professional ambition, the pressure to represent, to not stand out, to carry the family’s hopes without dropping them, and she gives that tension a framework to understand it.

ERG leaders book Cox when they want their members to leave feeling seen, equipped, and connected to each other in a new way.

Her work with PNG is among her most celebrated ERG engagements a room of Latina professionals who described the experience as both a mirror and a map.

Denise Soler Cox is represented by Simon & Schuster Speakers Bureau. What Will They Say? publishes August 18, 2026 and is available for pre-order now.
