Modern Latina™, the Bay Area’s hottest digital magazine for Latina women, invites you to our Quinceañera, where we will celebrate the amazing, powerful, and unstoppable Latinas of our community. The theme for this year’s festivities is “Celebrating our stories, cultura and community.”

RSVP: https://bit.ly/3pQixQx
Join us for this uplifting virtual celebration featuring poetry readings, a musical performance by Gabriela Sepulveda, and recognition of Latina leaders making a difference in our community. Modern Latina recognizes that mothers are the heart of the family and our community, and as part of its Quince celebration, will be honoring a mother who has made their family a priority and demonstrated exemplary service to their community with the “Madre Award.”
We are so excited to announce our Chingona Award recipient, Sarahi Espinoza Salamanca, Founder of DREAMers Roadmap. During COVID-19, Sarahi started the #FirstOfTheMonth Fund, an emergency relief fund to help close to 150 families in East Palo Alto pay their rent. Sarahi has also been leading donation drives to provide farmworkers with essential supplies during COVID-19. Rosanna Alvarez, founder of Hella Chingona podcast, will interview Sarahi.
