The countdown to the inaugural Latina Powerhouse Top 100 gala is underway. The Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami is set to host the event presented by ¡HOLA! Américas. On the afternoon of November 30, final preparations were made ahead of the ceremony, which will take place on December 1.
After several years of promoting the Latina Powerhouse Top 100 list as a digital initiative each Hispanic Heritage Month, this iconic project is now debuting as an in-person event. The gala will celebrate the most influential and visionary Latinas who are shaping culture in the United States and Latin America.
