HL | Latinas of Influence — Legacy Project

For more than three decades, Hispanic Lifestyle has been committed to recognizing the women whose leadership, resilience, and influence have shaped business, culture, and community across the United States. Through this ongoing work, nearly 500 Latinas have been honored each story contributing to a powerful and growing narrative of impact.

Today, that legacy enters a new chapter.

“For more than 30 years, HL has had the privilege of telling the stories of extraordinary Latinas whose leadership has shaped our communities. The Legacy Project ensures these stories don’t fade with time. Instead, they live on, documented, accessible, and positioned to inspire the next generation of leaders.”

Why the Legacy Project Matters Now

Latinas are among the fastest-growing and most influential contributors to the U.S. economy, culture, and civic life. Yet their achievements are still too often underrepresented or under-documented.

The Legacy Project addresses that gap by:

  • Preserving legacy through verified digital profiles and editorial features
  • Amplifying influence via national content distribution and social platforms
  • Connecting generations of leaders, mentors, and emerging voices
  • Creating ongoing visibility, not one-time recognition

As Sandoval notes, “Legacy is not about a single moment of recognition it’s about sustained visibility and continued relevance. Our responsibility is to make sure these stories remain part of the cultural record.”

What the Legacy Project Includes

Each Legacy Project profile may include:

  • An updated leadership biography and professional highlights
  • Editorial features aligned with HL’s Culture & Influence coverage
  • Optional short-form video storytelling
  • A Legacy Project digital badge for professional and social use
  • Ongoing visibility through HL platforms and special editorial moments, including Women’s History Month

Together, these elements create a permanent digital footprint that honors where these women have been—and where their influence continues to grow.

A Platform Built on Trust

For more than three decades, HL has served as a trusted voice in the community recognized for thoughtful editorial standards, authentic storytelling, and meaningful relationships.

The Latinas of Influence — Legacy Project builds on that foundation, offering a platform where recognition evolves into long-term visibility, credibility, and connection.

Join the Legacy

The HL | Latinas of Influence — Legacy Project invites past honorees, partners, and supporters to participate in this next chapter ensuring that the stories of Latina leadership are not only remembered, but continuously shared.

Because legacy is not static. It is lived, shaped, and passed forward.
