Excited to be elected to serve on the 2026 PRSA, Los Angeles Chapter Board of Directors. It's a great group of top PR pros looking to advance the profession. We had a great retreat this past weekend brainstorming how to bring more value to our members.

Immigration raids are not only tearing families apart — they’re tearing at the fabric of the U.S. economy and national confidence, according to new research from ThinkNow, a Los Angeles-based marketing research firm.

I'll be joining the PRSA Hispanic Affinity Group to moderate a webinar exploring the data and sharing thoughts on how, by standing for inclusion, belonging, and shared prosperity, companies can help restore economic confidence and build trust with their core consumers.

Pictured here with my husband, Arturo.

Pride Month originated from a protest demanding for our fundamental rights and a celebration of visibility and q***r joy.

Words cannot capture the overwhelming emotions I had when I finally had the opportunity to marry the man who holds my heart, knowing that our government recognized and safeguarded our love.

However, as I witness the disheartening regression of our nation driven by fear, hate, and homophobia, I implore my allies to rise to the occasion and speak out. Companies need to muster the courage to play a bigger role than ever before in advancing LGBTQ+ inclusion and representation.

Join us in welcoming Nidia Nunez to the ChavezPR team!

Nidia is a graduate of Cal State University, Fullerton. After the birth of her first child, Nidia wanted to provide a better life for her children, so she enrolled as a full-time student and pursued her bachelor's degree in Communications with a concentration in Public Relations. She’s the queen of multi-tasking!

Nidia is helping the agency in a number of areas, from building media and influencer lists, creating social media content, to pitching media.

It feels like things are changing all around me these days. Some are good changes. Some are more difficult to take. The one thing I’ve learned all these years is to embrace the change and know deep inside you will see your way through it.

This photo was taken this month by a student photographer. Sure, the years are showing in the wrinkles near my eyes. Yep, I didn’t lose the weight I wanted to before the photoshoot. But you know what, I look at the pic and can’t help but smile. It’s me and I am okay with it. Trust me, it took many many years to be able to see myself and be okay.

Always exciting to hear from Manny Ruiz and Angela Sustaita Ruiz announce their latest venture. This time around its Nuestro Stories & Studios – one of the first digital platforms fully devoted to Latino origins and history. Looking forward to watching the content being produced by their team.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! As you may know, this holiday has its roots in the historic battle of Puebla, Mexico, but has since become a popular occasion for Americans to celebrate Mexican heritage and culture. Growing up in Pico Rivera, a small suburb with a mostly Latino population, I have many fond memories of the beautiful fiestas hosted by our schools. These events featured delicious food, mariachi music, and performances by Mexican ballet folklorico dancers, while families came out and enjoyed themselves. Good times!

As we celebrate this day, let us honor and preserve the spirit of pride and appreciation for Mexican culture that Cinco de Mayo represents. Enjoy your festivities, and please remember to stay safe!
