Representation matters everywhere, especially on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Social media is a platform where many Hispanic influencers are making waves in the Latin community for their stories, advocacies, and love for color and diversity.

These influencers are not only amazing but are deadset on speaking out and making a difference to campaign and raise awareness. They also help contribute to the culture, innovations, and redefining what it means to be Hispanic in 2020.

We rounded up some of our favorite Instagram accounts, so go ahead and click that follow button. You won't regret it.

  So what are you training for? A lot of people ask after all these years. Honestly I’m not training for anything other than being the best version of myself . Female empowerment and equality is important to me, but not in the sense that I’d like to be equal as my male counterpart; but equal in the way I’m being treated, and “allowed” to strive for the same goals any human can think possible. I do not want to be limited to societal standards to what I can or cannot do. I have the right to shape my future where there are no preconceived labels attached to me because I’m a woman. I don’t run like a girl, I run like me. I’m not too young to be where I am, I just am here based on the work I’ve put in. I am not selfish as a working mom, I’m striving to drive a business where my daughter’s future is secured. I am not a” bitch”, I teach others how to treat me by what I allow, what I reinforce, and what I stop. I’ll continue to define who and what I want to be. I’m setting a path and a standard for my daughter and for so many other women who support me on a daily; this is what I’m truly training for. Let’s be relentless. __________________________________________________ Entonces, ¿para qué estás entrenando? Honestamente, no estoy entrenando para otra cosa que no sea ser la mejor versión de mí misma El empoderamiento femenino y la igualdad son importantes para mí, pero no en el sentido de que me gustaría ser igual a un hombre; pero igual en la forma en la que me tratan, y en la que me “permiten" luchar por los mismos objetivos que cualquier humano puede pensar posible. No quiero limitarme a los estándares sociales a lo que puedo o no puedo hacer. Tengo derecho a darle forma a mi futuro donde no hay etiquetas preconcebidas apegadas a mi porque soy mujer. No corro como una niña, corro como yo. No soy demasiado joven para estar donde estoy, solo estoy aquí basado en el trabajo que he realizado. No soy egoísta como madre que trabaja, me esfuerzo por impulsar un negocio donde el futuro de mi hija esté asegurado. No soy una "odiosa” enseño a otros cómo tratarme con lo que permito, lo que refuerzo y lo que detengo. Continuaré definiendo quién y qué quiero ser. Y tu?
