Des Moines, IA – Following the successful release of its second print issue and continued growth across the Midwest, JEFAS Latinas in Business Magazine, a brand under Hola America Media, plans to launch www.jefasmagazine.com, a dedicated website to expand its digital presence and strengthen its commitment to connecting and empowering Latina entrepreneurs on Monday, March 31.
Since its inception in early 2024, JEFAS has established itself as a vital platform in the business community, beginning with an impressive 87-page glossy print magazine that showcased over 50 Latina entrepreneurs throughout Iowa. The brand further solidified its influence by hosting the highly successful Latina Business Excellence Summit in May 2024, which brought together more than 250 Midwestern Latina entrepreneurs for networking, knowledge sharing, and celebration.
Following the standing-room-only unveiling of its second Iowa issue in February 2025, JEFAS is expanding its impact through this new online platform. The website will serve as a comprehensive resource for current and aspiring business owners with essential content covering topics such as mental health, financial planning, and business growth practices.
