¡HOLA! Americas Redeclares the Latina Powerhouse 100

On October 7, 2026, ¡HOLA! Americas proudly announced the much-anticipated return of the Latina Powerhouse 100 list, an initiative that honors outstanding Latina women making significant contributions across various fields in the United States, Latin America, and beyond. The 2026 event is themed "Hispanic Heritage: Inspiring the Future of America" and will be a spectacular showcase at the Ziff Ballet Opera House in Miami on November 2.

The Latina Powerhouse initiative, now in its sixth year, has expanded beyond its humble beginnings when it was first launched in 2020. Initially a digital platform highlighting the achievements and influence of Latina women, it has transformed into a cornerstone project for ¡HOLA! Americas. Through various media platforms and social events, the stories of these extraordinary women are shared with a broader audience, celebrating their accomplishments and the rich tapestry of their heritage.

This year’s gala will mark the largest celebration yet, with over 400 guests attending at one of Miami’s most iconic venues. The event aims to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where community members can come together to pay tribute to the remarkable women honored on the 2026 list. More than a mere gathering, it seeks to inspire and connect through shared narratives and experiences.

The theme "Hispanic Heritage: Inspiring the Future of America" resonates deeply as it highlights the importance of passing down legacies to future generations. It shines a spotlight on women who not only embrace their predecessors' achievements but also pave new paths for upcoming leaders. Nagidmy Márquez Acosta, Chief Content Officer of ¡HOLA! Americas, emphasized the purpose of the Latin Powerhouse initiative: to shed light on extraordinary women's stories that deserve to be told. Six years later, the celebration not only acknowledges their current success but honors the invaluable legacies they create for the future.

At the heart of this gala is a dynamic program that includes a special recognition segment for the women in attendance, who have been included in the Latina Powerhouse 100 list. The evening will also feature exceptional musical performances, including a collaboration with the Latina Powerhouse Big Band and special guests in a segment titled "The Soundtrack of the Americas." This performance aims to honor the diverse musical connections that weave through different cultures and generations across the Americas.

Over the years, the Latina Powerhouse 100 has celebrated prominent figures from various domains, with notable honorees including Shakira, Chita Rivera, Zoe Saldaña, Dany Garcia, Selena Gomez, and Eva Longoria. These women exemplify excellence in entertainment, science, cuisine, business, sports, and media, highlighting their remarkable contributions that transcend borders.
