IN THE ORB OF
SUCCESS
Maria Elena Salinas is a leading news anchor in Univision, in addition to being a
writer, one of the most recognized Hispanic faces in journalism, as well as one
of the 15 most influential people among Latinos in the United States. Passion,
talent, originality, creativity, dedication, compromise, integrity, character
and a lot sensibility, are only some of the values that have taken her to the
top, and kept her there; a feat not accomplished by many.
With more than a 30 year trajectory and accumulated
success, due to her unique style and contribution to the community, she has
received dozens of awards and recognitions. The Lifetime Achievement Award, being the most recent one, which she
will receive on October 1st, 2012, along with journalist Jorge Ramos, in an
homage to their careers in Hispanic television in the United States. This award
will be bestowed by the National Academy
of Television Arts and Sciences, in the gala of the 33rd ANNUAL NEWS & DOCUMENTARY EMMY AWARDS, held in New York
City.
Maria Elena has demonstrated that we create our own destiny.
As a pioneer of Hispanic television, she has been leaving an indelible mark
that transcends and inspires through her contributions and commitmentto the
community.Daughter to Mexican parents who migrated to the United States,
Salinas is a native of Los Angeles, California; a bicultural who is very proud
of her roots. This talented woman identifies with the situations encountered by
Latinos in the U.S., which is the reason why she encourages her people to take an
active part insociety, exerting their rights and obligations while taking part
of all aspects that affect them, like politics, education, health, immigration,
and employment. Committed to education, she sponsors scholarships for college students
majoring in journalism through The
National Association of Hispanic Journalists, which she co-founded. She is
also on the board of directors of the Hispanic
Scholarship Fund and the International
Women’s Media Foundation.
This woman has received the highest award of her life,
that of being mother to two beautiful children, Julia Alexandra and Gabriela.
They are her priority and remain under her care after her divorce. Maria Elena is
happy with the relationship she has fostered with her
daughters and they share as much time as possible together. In their time
together, she shares her love for them along with the values with which she
grew up. Salinas is cultivating in them, love for their roots and Latin
traditions.
This extraordinary woman has earned my deepest
admiration; a role model as a professional, leader, mother and modern woman who
has demonstrated that one can live a harmonious life, enjoying quality time in
everything we do, both at work and with our loved ones as well as ourselves.
Maria Elena has a very active social life, and in spite of this, she takes the
time to pamper herself with her beauty routines and by contributing to her
community.
Salinas leaves us with this thought: “After every
difficult situation, you should see the positive in it; you’re probably freeing
yourself from something not good for you.”
