I was so glad that my daughter and her generation had a room full of entrepreneurial role models!
Walking through the vendor market, I saw a t-shirt that said “I am my ancestors hopes and dreams.” I immediately started to cry. I thought about how my grandmother and mother never had the opportunity to attend an event like this or could even dream of owning their own businesses. I also had my daughter with me–something I would encourage others to do for next year!
I didn’t even know how important this conference would be to me!
My future feels tangible now. I know it sounds cheesy and repetitive, but I cannot truly express the change or transformation that took place during the conference! THANK YOU Christina and the H+S Team!
I truly enjoyed all the value that the Hustle+Socialize conference brought to me as an entrepreneur!
Wearing many hats is challenging, but this conference helped me focus on my goals. I was able to grow professionally and personally. The perfect opportunities to grow were placed right in front of us to build our businesses. It was an amazing conference and I was so happy to see and meet so many of my entrepreneur friends!

Meet Our Fearless Leader, Christina Olivarez
From aspiring television news reporter to award-winning executive coach for Women of Color and visibility strategist for Latinas, my journey has been fueled by a passion for media, online visibility, and empowering women of color. I’m Christina Olivarez and I was born and raised on the US/Mexico Border in South Texas down in the Rio Grande Valley. (Puro 956!) While I once dreamed of being a reporter on Good Morning America or hosting the red carpet for E!, I realized that my impact would be far greater as a leader in the digital space. I was eager to launch my career as a reporter in San Antonio, TX. However, every time I would interview for a position I was often told that I didn’t look the part, would have to change my look, or worse, a FLAT OUT NO!
My deep love for the internet began back in the AOL era, where I learned how to build an online personal brand and community. This passion for digital media eventually led me to launch The Social Butterfly Gal in 2015, a blog-turned-social media management company that served as the foundation for my journey into entrepreneurship. Working with clients to manage their social media, create content strategies, and organize private influencer events gave me a front-row seat to how impactful a strong digital presence can be. This passion helped me to retire from my social media management days and shift into Business Coaching & Leadership Development for Minority Women. I now focus on Personal Branding and Online Visibility through Executive Coaching for Women of Color.
During a networking event, I realized I was often the only Latina in the room. This made me recognize the gaps and disparities in business education and resources available for minority businesswomen. In 2018, I launched Hustle + Socialize, an annual conference dedicated to elevating the voices and business acumen of Latinas and women of color. The rest is history! In 2023, I brought Hustle + Socialize under the SBG brand, and launched the core pillars of my brand: conference, coaching, and speaking.
At the heart of my work is the mission to help you take up space, confidently own your story, and make a lasting impact on your community. Whether through my signature Hustle + Socialize Conference, executive coaching, or compelling speaking engagements, I empower women to elevate their brands, amplify their voices, and lead with confidence.
I am so excited to guide you on your journey to becoming an unapologetically visible leader and help you build your legacy of influence. Let’s revolutionize your visibility and make a lasting impact—together!
