CalEndow Live Virtual Programming Presents
Maria Hinojosa
Storytelling for Impact
A Virtual Event
Wednesday, August 25
5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Pacific
Join CalEndow Live in conversation with media trailblazer Maria Hinojosa about lifting community voices and crafting stories that make a difference. Maria has hosted Latino USA on National Public Radio for nearly 20 years and created The Futuro Media Group in 2010 to harness the power of independent and community-based journalists.
Maria will share behind-the-scenes stories from her 30-year career as an award-winning journalist—from shining a light on immigrant communities to creating a multi-platform outlet to celebrate the culture richness of the American experience. She will also assess the future of media in the digital age and offer advice for aspiring journalists.
Maria is eager to answer your questions about today’s newsrooms and how the media reports on Latinx communities.
This virtual event is free. Registration is required.
Closed captioning and Spanish interpretation will be available.

She has won dozens of awards for her reporting and is the author of three books, including Once I was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in Torn America.
