Letter from the editor
Latino Leaders
Empowering.
is always evolving and moving forward.
6 • April 2014
We want to keep being the most important publication about Latino leaders in the country, but we also want to take our next step and become more relevant on the national media scene. For this task, which is in no way easy, we have invited Esther Perez to take the position of editor in chief and to command the editorial content for the magazine and all it’s digital platforms. Esther comes with a great background as a journalist and editor and has a tremendous vision and set of ideas to take Latino Leaders to the next step up. We’re confident that Esther is going to play a key role in the good content and transcendence that Latino Leaders is going to bring to you in the years to come.
Since joining the team of Latino Leaders Magazine, that word has met me every time I walk through the doorway of my new office. When people ask what I do, it’s easy to talk about scribbling out story ideas or sitting through everlasting meetings that shave away precious deadline time, but that isn’t what defines my work. It’s a privilege to share the stories of the Latinas in this edition who have not only broken the limitations placed on them but also are beautiful examples of our future. With women who are deeply involved in shaping a new generation, redefining the roles of Latinas and standing out in their fields, this edition brings excellence with each turn of the page.
