Hello Hispanic lifestyle, it is my pleasure to nominate Roxanne Martinez for Latina of influence. I met Roxann while she was operating her small business Roxstar Marketing. I could immediately see her passion for the community and helping small businesses grow. I later learned about the organization that her and her husband started for youth athletics. The grass roots program grew and flourished even though both her and her husband were battling and survived cancer. Roxanne currently sits as Board for the school board the Fort Worth independent school district board and volunteers for various non-profits and community initiatives. Roxanne is an amazing example of a Latina of Influence who has invested in her community with leadership and love.
