This Mother’s Day, CHLI honors the mothers and maternal figures whose strength and guidance inspire future Latino leaders. “Generations of Us” is a reminder that who we are didn’t start with us. It lives in the sacrifices, strength, and love passed down from the women who raised us, guided us, and believed in us.

Congratulations to CHLI Partner @ComcastUniversal and @NBCUniversal News Group Chairman @CesarConde on being recognized by The @HollywoodReporter in its “50 Most Powerful People in New York Media” list. This success and leadership reflect the growing impact of Latino voices shaping the future of media across broadcast, digital, and streaming platforms. 🔗Get all the details at the link in our bio.
