The influencer world has been largely dominated by pre-defined beauty standards, making it hard for people with different ethnicities to stand out. However, the past few years have been transformative if nothing else. We have been seeing growing Latin representation on the internet. This has resulted in more and more Latin faces appearing on our Instagram feeds.
These passionate Latina influencers have redefined this landscape on their terms. They make sure they are properly representing their culture and their people.

This makes sure the Latin audiences see someone they relate to in terms of culture, language, and background.
