What Has Latina Meant to You Throughout the Years?

In 1993, Christy Haubegger was a 24-year-old Stanford Law School graduate with a bold idea: to start the first magazine aimed at bicultural women like her. It would take her three years—and nearly 200 rejections!—to see her vision realized, with the 1996 debut of Latina (featuring a then-relatively unknown Jennifer Lopez on the cover).

Fast forward to 2012 and Latina is the definitive fashion, beauty, culture and lifestyle magazine for Latin women, creating a voice for the Latin community.
