| Abstract | Five years ago, Christina Diaz Lopez invested her life savings of $15,000 in the failing San Fernando Beauty Academy outside Los Angeles. She worked hard, offered English classes to her mostly Hispanic students and obtained a series of bank loans. Today, at 36, the resourceful Lopez is thriving. And with 15 employees, her business grosses $65,000 a month. But more important, she is grooming a new generation of beauticians who are starting their own salons in southern California. Lopez is making the economy look good. And like legions of entrepreneurial risk-takers who have spread hope, growth and opportunity throughout the USA, she has ushered in an era of unprecedented prosperity. |
