What Is LLL 9x9 1A.jpg

The Hispanic 100 take pride in recognizing the amazing contributions of Latinas making an impact in our community. For almost 20 years, the Hispanic 100 has recognized Latinas who have made a lifetime of contributions to Latina women and girls through the Latina Living Legend (LLL) Award. In 2019, the Hispanic 100 launched the Emerging Latina Leader Award (ELLA), recognizing Latina executives contributing to our community and well on the path to becoming Latina Living Legends. See photos from some of our past events in our gallery.

The Latina Living Legend Award recognizes the lifetime commitment of a Dallas-Fort Worth area Latina who has distinguished herself through her profession, active community and civic participation, volunteerism, and/or philanthropic endeavors directly benefiting the community-at-large.
