Perla’s story begins in Hidalgo, TX, born and raised by immigrant parents. Their lessons of hard work and dedication were ingrained in her from a very young age, leading her to start her first company at age 21.

Today, Perla is a visionary serial entrepreneur and licensed speech therapist. After creating 19 companies in 11 industries, she has generated over nine digits of revenue through her businesses. Perla combines her passion for business and philanthropy in her pediatric clinics and advocacy for children's rights and health policies. In 2020 she joined forces to activate local leaders across the U.S. who impacted over 400,000 families and distributed over $7 Million in household products.

Over the past decade, Perla has dedicated her life to inspiring others to unleash their true potential. Perla Tamez has always had a heart for entrepreneurship and philanthropy. Her desire to help others has been the energy behind her newest start-up, one of which is a non-profit, Love Soldiers Foundation, to help non-profits be efficient in their operations and be of most impact with their funds.

The second mission, Latina Empire, is a business model focused on continuously assisting women to reach new heights through her proprietary method: heart, mind, and money. The main focus is on accountability and community, with a culture that gives back to society to create sustainable change within their communities.

Perla is considered by her peers and loved ones as an enigma, one who inspires through leading her life with a humble heart, approachable existence, passion for community, and a commitment to share her circle of influence to help others rise.
