Janel Martinez, a New York-based digital editor and producer, decided she wanted a place on the Web for Latina women of African descent to find images, stories and perspectives that embodied their diversity and culture. From this, AintILatina.com was born.
The 20-something native of Honduras has worked for media publications including Black Enterprise and Latina magazine and brings her experience as a lifestyle and tech enthusiast and journalist to helm the site. Martinez, a Syracuse University grad, has already gotten notice in the industry, recognized by Digital Sisterhood Network, a global organization for women in technology, among the top ‘Digital Sisters of the Year.’
AintILatina.com touts itself as being “created by an Afro-Latina for Afro-Latinas.” Founded to fill a void in the representation of millennial Latinas in both mainstream as well as Spanish-language media, Martinez has indeed created a portal where young women can celebrate their diversity via celebrity news, career advice, lifestyle coverage and exclusive interviews with today’s hottest Latinas.
