Amy Hinojosa is a Latina leader, advocate, and President & CEO of MANA, an organization dedicated to empowering Latinas through mentorship, education, leadership development, and policy advocacy.

Her journey spans from childhood in Texas and Cajun Louisiana to a bold move to Washington, D.C., where she pursued a path in civil rights and community advocacy. Shaped by early experiences of bias and belonging, Amy transformed those moments into a lifelong mission to advance equity and representation for Latinas across industries.

Through her leadership, she has helped build national coalitions and strengthen Latina voices in spaces such as tech, healthcare, and public policy. Her work centers on the belief that Latinas are essential to creating a more equitable economy and society.

In this episode of Inner Niña Podcast, Amy shares how courage, coalition-building, and stepping into discomfort can spark meaningful change. Her story is a powerful reminder that when Latinas lead together, they transform systems and open doors for future generations.
