Hispanic Lifestyle Relaunches as HL: A Reimagined Platform Celebrating Culture & Influence

The climate of our country and the media industry has changed drastically over the last 11 months. To stay relevant, to remain useful, and to continue honoring our community, it became necessary to rebrand, reimagine, and completely rework how we show up and serve.
Through my travels, conversations with colleagues, advertisers, creators, and community leaders and by watching the trends shaping our world I came to one undeniable conclusion: the Latino community continues to be underserved, undervalued, and underrepresented across far too many sectors.

Hispanic Lifestyle now known as “HL | Culture & Influence”

Our community has earned the right to be respected, acknowledged, and celebrated. And while we do not speak with a single voice, we represent a powerful spectrum of perspectives, cultures, and lived experiences. We must do a better job of telling our stories, highlighting our achievements, and being consistent, diligent, and unapologetic about showcasing our excellence.

After 30 years of producing content and events, I remain driven to do better—to go deeper, expand our reach, and collaborate with partners who share our commitment to elevating the voices that deserve to be heard.

At HL, our purpose is simple:
to capture the culture and influence of the community and ensure our stories are seen, valued, and remembered.

With our relaunch, Hispanic Lifestyle now known as HL | Culture & Influence enters a bold new chapter in our evolution as a media company. In our corner of the internet, our editorial focus remains clear: to raise, amplify, and honor the voices and stories shaping our community’s future.

In the months ahead, you will see expanded editorial categories, new online series, renewed storytelling, and fresh opportunities for engagement and collaboration. I invite you to explore the new HispanicLifestyle.com and join us as we build the next chapter of community-centered media.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Buckle up friends, there is so much more we are ready to share with you.

President & Executive Producer, HL

Meet Gina Saad and YourPersonal broker.com

A Legacy in Real Estate, A Vision for the Future

For more than 25 years, Gina Saad has dedicated her career to helping Californians achieve the dream of homeownership. A proud California native born in Brawley, raised in West Covina, and later a homeowner in Victorville at just 19 years old, Saad’s journey in real estate began early.

“My dad was a real estate broker. He got his license in 1975, so it was truly the family business,” she shared. “I earned my license at 18 and my broker’s license at 21. From the beginning, I had a passion for helping homebuyers attain the American dream.”

Over the years, Gina has held leadership positions in multiple real estate franchise brokerages, most recently serving as a managing broker for a large cloud-based firm overseeing thousands of agents across California. It was during this time she recognized a critical issue in the industry a training and comprehension gap affecting many new agents entering the field.

Bridging the Gap: YourPersonalBroker.com

“Many agents are launched into the industry without fully understanding the day-to-day contracts they need to work with,” Gina explained. “That’s why I created YourPersonalBroker.com to support brokers as they train and guide their agents.”

Unlike most tools that focus exclusively on agents, Gina’s platform centers on broker support.

“Sometimes a broker needs a broker,” she said. “Brokers are expected to do it all lead, train, recruit, market, supervise. My goal is to give them back time in their day and provide a system that supports their agents 24/7.”

Your Personal Broker combines in-person training with AI-powered on-demand support through its proprietary ASK tool. This innovative platform allows agents to access real-time forms clarity and professional communication support at any hour, addressing the reality that real estate doesn’t stop at 5 p.m.

Technology Meets Experience

“Brokers want to support their agents, but the truth is, time is scarce,” Gina noted. “If ASK can give brokers back even an hour a day or a week to focus on growing their business, recruiting, or marketing, then we’ve created something meaningful. It’s a time-saving partner for brokers and their agents.”

The ASK platform is fully web-based and accessible through yourpersonalbroker.com , integrating next-generation AI support with Gina’s hands-on approach.

Rooted in Community and Family

Gina lives with her family in Yucaipa, California. She credits her husband and three daughters for their unwavering support as she embarks on this new chapter.

“As a woman business owner, launching YourPersonal broker.com during Women’s Small Business Month is incredibly special,” she said. “I’m proud to build something that uplifts an industry I’ve loved my entire life.”

Connect with Your Personal Broker

Brokers and agents can visit yourpersonalbroker.com to sign up and explore ASK, or follow the company on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok at YourPersonalBroker.com or https://www.yourpersonalbroker.com/
