Raul Anaya first witnessed the drive and resilience of the Latino business owner when his father opened Anaya’s Body and Paint Shop in Brownsville, Texas.
As President of Business Banking at Bank of America—and now as a member of the board of trustees for the Smithsonian’s Museum of the American Latino—Anaya continues to witness the power of Latinos when they want to build something. And exactly how hope and optimism guides us as a community of entrepreneurs.
Anaya has seen it over the course of three decades. Bank of America has not only provided him with the opportunity to appreciate the kind of courage his father showed when he walked into a bank to ask for a loan—it’s allowed him the opportunity to personally support diverse business owners and properly reflect the community. Because for Anaya, we’re in this together.
