1. Diana Garcia ~ Fashion Influencer

@jujuinmycloset

“I love fashion, so I started this blog with the idea of posting a little bit of fashion and always trying to have a positive impact in the people that follow me. My feed is about fashion and inspirational quotes, while my stories are about my daily life.”

2. Mely Cruz ~ Lifestyle Influencer

“If social media is truly your passion, go for it! There are four things that have worked for me through these 10+ years that I have been in the social media industry: Have a plan and stay focused, be constant no matter what, always be yourself and ENJOY the ride!”

3. Cachis Arredondo ~ Lifestyle Influencer

@ladycach

“The primary focus of my Instagram is to share who I truly am. In this crazy world of social media, we easily start to compare ourselves and lose sight of our individuality. I, like everyone else, have to catch myself and remember that I am unique, colorful, and original in my own way, and I embrace it and share it.”

4. Jessica Serna ~ Travel Influencer

@mycurlyadventures_

“My main focus is finding fun weekend getaways for Texans with a 9-5! Most people don’t realize all of the international influences in Texas or that you can ride an Italian gondola in DFW, discover a French town close to San Antonio, go sandsurfing, and so much more. Through my blog I help people live that travel lifestyle and find hidden gems close to home.”

5. Christine Komassa ~ Foodie Influencer

@elpaso.eats

“Being a Latina definitely shapes what I post and I like to think it has an effect on a lot of what I do. Through my work and home life – it’s who I am. I feel a sense of pride being Mexican-American and, living on the border, I feel a responsibility to make sure I never lose sight of that.”

6. Anya Carranza ~ Lifestyle Influencer

@anya.carranza

“If there is one piece of advice, I would give to anyone starting their own Instagram account it is: Be yourself. There’s nobody like you and that is your super power. These days people are looking for authentic, unique and original blogs and influencers. Be you.”

7. Danielle Cortez ~ Lifestyle Influencer

@savii_dee

“Focusing on my everyday life in my Instagram feed has been an easy thing to stick to. I suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out) so I’m always trying new places and experiencing what the world has to offer. My followers enjoy that and depend on the fact that I will give them an honest review. Especially when it comes to brunch places.”

8. Kristel Gonzaba ~ Lifestyle Influencer

@stylinbrunette

“My upbringing has taught me how wonderful it is to be surrounded by the ones you love. For me, hosting and creating a beautifully detailed table and bar cart allow me to share what I love to do, with the ones I love!”

9. Romy Hernandez ~ Beauty Influencer

@romyhernandez87

“The primary focus of my Instagram is to show fellow Latina Moms that it is ok for us to wear and love makeup, so we can look good and feel good! I like to focus on self-care to show moms it is ok to focus on your family AND yourself.” 

10. Dalia Benavides ~ Beauty Influencer

@dalia.benavides

“I feel very powerful being Latina and having so much success. I recently became the first makeup artist in Laredo to be selected to be in the Anastasia Beverly Hills PR List, which is a huge accomplishment. I always keep this quote in my mind for all my Latina followers, “Si yo puedo, ustedes tambien” which translates to: “If I can, you can too”. We are hard-working women who always strive for the best and can conquer anything we put our minds to.”

11. My Desert Glow ~ Beauty Influencer

@mydesertglow

“I am Latina, born and raised in El Paso, Texas. My mom was and will always be a Chicana activist to her core which has inspired me to love my culture and heritage. It shapes who I am and embodies everything I do, including my Instagram. I love my brown skin and everything that entails including gravitating towards brands that are diverse and inclusive like Youth to The People and so many others.”
