About Us

this is latina approved

This is what happens when a Salvadoran-American and a Mexican-American meet, they empower each other! Together we’re challenging stereotypes, embracing our cultures as Latinas while living our truest life.

Latina Approved is a digital content brand that was created to serve the Latina community by providing recommendations and tips on topics that matter to Latinas the most such as dating, food, travel, and empowerment. We believe in being the voice of pride and passion for Latinas of all nationalities while also encouraging them to strive for success. We feel honored to be a platform where Latinas can join forces and empower each other. Juntas no hay nada que no podamos lograr! (Together there is nothing we can’t overcome!)
