Author Gabriela Gomez Releases Latina Golden Beauty, an Empowering Anthology Celebrating the Inner and Outer Radiance of Latinas

CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chicago author Gabriela Gomez celebrates the inner and outer beauty of Latinas in her new book "Latina Golden Beauty," published by Fig Factor Media.

The book, available on Amazon, is an anthology that brings together diverse views from eight Hispanic women, including Gomez, who redefine the concept of inner and holistic beauty. Gomez explained how these collection of stories are mirrors that reflect on the souls of women who questioned themselves as being good enough to their family, friends and themselves.

"This book was born from the belief that beauty is not skin-deep, but life-deep," wrote Gomez, a licensed cosmetologist, certified life coach, and international police chaplain. "It is the sum of our journeys, our healing, our courage, and our truth. Here, 'holistic beauty' means seeing a woman as whole— mind, body, spirit, culture, and environment. It's recognizing that her glow comes not only from how she looks, but from how she thinks, feels, lives, and loves."

The contributing authors are:

• Nenci Rodriguez
• Dora Velázquez
• Carolina Ocampo
• Simona Botello
• Sandra E. Castañeda
• Magda Duarte
• Lorena Trejo

Gomez presents her personal story as an example of finding opportunities to develop the beauty within herself and letting it shine to help others. As she grew into adulthood, she searched for refuge, identity, and love in a world that rarely offered them. A devoted mother to five children and a mother figure to her niece, she endured domestic abuse. After escaping that violent situation, she returned to school, rebuilding her life and earning degrees in accounting and business administration.

She realized, however, that her career path was in the beauty industry working as a licensed cosmetologist and later a certified makeup artist. She also received certification in Reiki Mastery. In her life journey, Gomez saw that beauty wasn't about exterior appearances but a transformation that empowers women to heal from within and embrace the sacred beauty carried in every scar and story.

"My life is my testimony, not to perfection, but to perseverance," she wrote. "Not to flawless skin, but to a fearless soul. My legacy lives in every woman I've helped to see her fire, not her flaws."
