Today, we celebrate Women's Equality Day – a powerful reminder of our progress and the work still ahead. As Latinas in the USA, we stand on the shoulders of countless mujeres fuertes who fought for our right to vote and equal representation.
Did you know that Latinas have been on the front lines for our right to vote? In the 1920s, Adelina “Nina” Otero-Warren was a leading Latina suffragist from New Mexico to later become the first Latina to run for U.S. Congress. She was an educator who fought to improve education for all New Mexicans.
It’s only been 104 years since women won the right to vote!
But the fight continues. This Women's Equality Day, let's honor our past and shape our future:
• Exercise your right to vote;
• Support Latina-owned businesses;
• Guide young Latinas in your community to vote;
• Speak up against gender discrimination!
Let's make our voices heard and continue breaking barriers for las próximas generaciones.

Dive into Frida Kahlo's vibrant world! 🎨 Our article reveals hidden stories in 6 of her most powerful works.
From her love with Diego Rivera to embracing her roots, Frida's art boldly declares identity and passion.
Did you know that a new documentary “Frida’ by Latina filmmaker Carla Gutiérrez is available on Amazon Prime? 🎬
Frida Kahlo's essence and legacy were gigantic and complex, and she expressed everything on the canvas.
Michelle Carranza did not want to be another trans woman murdered in her native Honduras.
“They don’t accept us there. They kill us, they discriminate us, they r**e us,” Carranza said.
She fled Honduras with two friends who are also part of the LGBTQ+ community. Carranza said they were first harassed by members of street gangs known as Maras, after they refused to work for them. They say they were almost killed in a park in Honduras when they were chased by men with machetes who were yelling homophobic slurs.
The Organization of American States reports that the average life expectancy of trans women in Latin America is no more than 35 years of age.
They now live in Trenton, New Jersey, with friends. The three friends have new hope now that they are safe in the U.S. as they await their first court date, but must collect all the evidence they have of the abuse they faced.

Venezuela's presidential election 2024 has become a pivotal moment for the country and for all of the world to see.
On Monday, President Nicolás Maduro was declared the winner which will continue his presidency for another six years, but the election results are highly contested. The Venezuelan opposition party, led by Edmundo Gonzalez, has rejected the official results, claiming that electoral fraud in Venezuela has compromised the integrity of the vote.
Thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets in anger and heartbreak demanding transparency and justice. The protests have turned deadly, with reports of at least 11 people killed and hundreds arrested.
The opposition alleges irregularities such as the arrest of key figures, denial of access to vote counting, and the exclusion of overseas Venezuelans from voting.
This election is crucial for Venezuela’s future, as the country has been under Chavismo for twenty five years struggling with a severe economic crisis and mass migration. In light of years of economic collapse and political repression, many young people are considering leaving the country if Maduro remains in power.
Let’s stay informed and support our Latinx family in Venezuela.

In honor of Marielle Franco's birthday, #BoldLatina honors her significant contribution to Brazilian politics and activism. Marielle was a 38-year old, Black, gay, feminist councilwoman who grew up in the favelas, the poorest neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro. Her life was dedicated to fighting against corruption, police violence, and inequality. Elected to Rio's City Council in 2016, she quickly became a powerful advocate for marginalized communities. Her fearless stance against the city's entrenched corruption and brutal violence made her a target. Tragically, she was assassinated in 2018, but her spirit and mission continue to inspire millions worldwide. According to NBC News, the alleged masterminds behind Franco’s killing were arrested, but justice still remains. The legacy Marielle left behind exemplifies the power of courage and resilience against Brazil’s corruption issues. #MarielleFranco #BoldLatina #JusticeForMarielle #WhokilledMarielleFranco #MarielleFrancomurder #Brazilianpoliticalviolence #womeninhistory #RepresentationMatters Images credit: Facebook
