Todays latina we want to highlight is Helen Rodriguez Trías (1929-2001) was an educator, pediatrician, and activist for women’s rights from New York. She studied medicine in Puerto Rico, where her parents were from, and inaugurated the first medical center on the island dedicated to caring for newborns.
Years later, Rodriguez Trías returned to New York, where she began a long and successful career as a pediatrician and professor of medicine. Her work was characterized by her constant efforts to improve health services for women, children, and people with HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and across the most marginalized areas of Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Helen Rodriguez Trías was the first Hispanic president of the American Public Health Association, and in 2001, she received the Presidential Citizens Medal shortly before her death the same year.

Today’s badass latina is a personal favorite of mine. Selena Quintanilla was born in Texas on April 16, 1971 to Mexican-American parents. At an early age, Selena began singing in the family band, Selena y Los Dinos. Her father was a musician and managed the band, while her brother and sister played instruments. They played at weddings and local events or parties. She had seven albums that hit number 1 for Latin songs, and won a Grammy in 1993. Her later albums moved to more of a pop infusion, with more music recorded in English. Known as the La reina de la música Tejana — the Queen of Tejano Music– Selena changed the landscape of American music forever. Billboard magazine named Selena Quintanilla the best Latina artist of all time. Even in her short life, she reached astonishing success and was an inspiration to millions. Selena was tragically shot by one of her fans, at only 23.

Todays fierce latina a personal favorite is Rita Moreno (born Rosa Dolores Alverío Marcano December 11, 1931) is a Puerto Rican actress, dancer, and singer. Noted for her work across different areas of the entertainment industry, she has appeared in numerous film, television, and theater projects throughout her extensive career spanning over seven decades. She is one of the last remaining stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Rita Moreno is one of the very few performers to win an Oscar, an Emmy, a Tony and a Grammy, thus becoming an EGOT. She has continued to work steadily on screen (both large and small) and on stage, solidifying her reputation as a national treasure, a status that was officially ratified with the award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush in June 2004.
