For the sixth consecutive year, the Talentos Latinos Awards recognized 11 individuals and an educational institution for their contributions to Michigan’s Hispanic community.

During the voting process, which took place in August, 10,424 votes were cast, selecting Latinos from various parts of the state, including Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Lake Orion, Milford, Warren, and Washington. This level of participation reflected the commitment and pride of the Latino community in honoring men and women who are positively contributing in areas such as art, communications, entrepreneurship, volunteerism, and philanthropy in Michigan.

Additionally, a special recognition was given to the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) program at Wayne State University for its 53 years of dedication to promoting Latin culture and studies.

The 2024 Talentos Latinos Awards recognized the following:

  • Latina Community Leader Award: Monique Saucedo
  • Friend of Latinos Award: Amanda Holiday
  • Latino Altruism Award: Mónica Navarro Vezina
  • Latina Activist Artist Award: Fátima Meléndez McGrew
  • Michigan Latino Media Personality Award: Martina Gúzman
  • Latina Business Ambassador Award: María Méndez
  • Michigan Latina Entrepreneur Award: Elena Morales
  • Latino Musical Talent Award: Rosa Lina Morales
  • Latino Volunteer Award: Tony A. Méndez
  • Latino Education Leader Award: Germán Reyes-Villanueva, Ph.D. (University of Michigan)
  • Inspiration Award: Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) (Wayne State University)
  • Latino Legacy Award: Myrna Segura-Beltchenko

The keynote speaker for the event was Danette Duron-Willner, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at RKT Holdings, who shared her inspiring story as the daughter of Latino immigrants. Despite the challenges, she was the first in her family to attend college and went on to become a successful Hispanic professional.

Daniela Díaz, Miss México Detroit 2024, was the official host of the event and encouraged young Hispanic women to participate in the upcoming pageant, which will take place in December.

The event began with a prayer led by Pastor Ricardo Granados from Pan de Vida Church in Detroit and was attended by community leaders from cities such as Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Saginaw. Special guests included Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and Mexican painter Alberto Marín, who presented a piece dedicated to Liliana Ospina Herbstreith.

This year, as with every edition of the Talentos Latinos Awards, the cultural diversity of the Hispanic community was celebrated. There were live performances by talented Latino artists like Kenya Cruz, Rosa Lina Morales, Adel Ruelas, and TommyPapi. Additionally, there were folkloric dances from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Spain, El Salvador, and Mexico.

The Talentos Latinos Awards go beyond celebrating Hispanic culture; their main objective is to recognize the unsung Latino heroes—hardworking individuals who contribute every day to making Michigan and the United States a better place. These unsung heroes, who are Latino volunteers, educators, artists, and entrepreneurs, represent the backbone of the Hispanic community, and it is an honor for the event organizers to acknowledge their efforts.

Thanks to the support of volunteers and sponsors like Rocket Companies, Ideal Group, Comerica Bank, Amezola, Anna Motors INC, Oakland Thrive, Prince Valley Market, and Junction Party Store, it was possible to amplify the voices of Michigan’s Hispanic community and highlight its achievements.

The Talentos Latinos Awards are celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month and serve as a reminder of the power of the Hispanic/Latino community in the U.S. Their spirit of resilience and commitment to their community’s well-being has made this community an essential pillar for the economy not only in Michigan but throughout the entire country.

Los Premios Talentos Latinos Celebran a los Líderes que Contribuyen Positivamente al Futuro de Michigan

Por sexto año consecutivo, los Premios Talentos Latinos reconocieron a 11 personas y a una institución educativa por sus contribuciones a la comunidad hispana de Michigan.

Durante el proceso de votación, que se llevó a cabo en agosto, se emitieron 10,424 votos, seleccionando a latinos de diversas partes del estado, incluyendo Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Lake Orion, Milford, Warren y Washington. Este nivel de participación reflejó el compromiso y el orgullo de la comunidad latina al honrar a hombres y mujeres que están contribuyendo positivamente en el arte, las comunicaciones, el emprendimiento, el voluntariado y la filantropía en Michigan.

Además, se otorgó un reconocimiento especial al centro para Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) de Wayne State University por sus 53 años de dedicación a la promoción de la cultura y los estudios latinos.

Los Premios Talentos Latinos 2024 otorgaron los siguientes reconocimientos:

  • Premio Líder Comunitaria Latina: Monique Saucedo
  • Premio Amiga de los Latinos: Amanda Holiday
  • Premio Altruismo Latino: Mónica Navarro Vezina
  • Premio Activista Artista Latina: Fátima Meléndez McGrew
  • – Premio Personalidad de los Medios Latinos de Michigan: Martina Gúzman
  • Premio Embajadora Empresarial Latina: María Méndez
  • Premio Empresaria Latina de Michigan: Elena Morales
  • Premio Talento Musical Latino: Rosa Lina Morales
  • Premio Voluntario Latino: Tony A. Méndez
  • Premio Líder Educativo Latino: Germán Reyes-Villanueva, Ph.D. (Universidad de Michigan)
  • Premio Inspiración: Centro para Latino/a and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) (Wayne State University)
  • Premio Legado Latino: Myrna Segura-Beltchenko

La oradora principal del evento fue Danette Duron-Willner, directora de Diversidad, Equidad e Inclusión de RKT Holdings, quien compartió su inspiradora historia como hija de inmigrantes latinos que, a pesar de los desafíos, fue la primera en su familia en asistir a la universidad y convertirse en una exitosa profesional hispana.

Daniela Díaz, Miss México Detroit 2024, fue la anfitriona oficial del evento e invitó a jóvenes hispanas a participar en el próximo certamen, que se realizará en diciembre.

El evento comenzó con una oración dirigida por el pastor Ricardo Granados, de la iglesia Pan de Vida en Detroit, y contó con la asistencia de líderes comunitarios provenientes de ciudades como Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids y Saginaw. Entre los invitados especiales estuvieron la congresista Rashida Tlaib y el pintor mexicano Alberto Marín, quien presentó una obra dedicada a Liliana Ospina.

Este año, como en cada edición de los Premios Talentos Latinos, se celebró la diversidad cultural de la comunidad hispana. Hubo actuaciones en vivo de talentosos artistas latinos como Kenya Cruz, Rosa Lina Morales, Adel Ruelas y TommyPapi. Además, se presentaron danzas folclóricas de Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Venezuela, Panamá, España, El Salvador y México.

Los Premios Talentos Latinos van más allá de la celebración de la cultura hispana; su objetivo principal es reconocer a los héroes anónimos hispanos, personas trabajadoras que contribuyen cada día a hacer de Michigan y de los Estados Unidos un mejor lugar para vivir, emprender y construir un futuro para sus familias. Estos héroes anónimos, que son voluntarios, educadores, artistas y empresarios latinos, representan la columna vertebral de la comunidad hispana, y para los organizadores del evento es un honor reconocer sus esfuerzos.

Gracias al apoyo de voluntarios y patrocinadores como Rocket Companies, Ideal Group, Comerica Bank, Amezola, Anna Motors INC, Oakland Thrive, Prince Valley Market y Junction Party Store, se pudo dar voz a la comunidad hispana de Michigan y destacar sus logros.

Los Premios Talentos Latinos se celebran durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana y sirven como un recordatorio del poder de la comunidad hispana/latina en los EE.UU. Su espíritu de resiliencia y compromiso con el bienestar de su comunidad han hecho de esta comunidad un pilar esencial para la economía no solo de Michigan, sino de todo el país
