Featured Speaker

Teen Voices is excited to host 2012 keynote speaker Maria Hinojosa.

For 25 years, Maria Hinojosa has told the stories of unsung heroes. She has been the anchor and managing editor of the weekly National Public Radio show "Latino USA" and anchor of the award-winning talk show Maria Hinojosa: One-on-One from WGBH/La Plaza. Her investigative journalism presses for truth while giving voice to lives and stories that illuminate the world we live in. She has helped define the conversation about our times and our society with one of the most authentic voices in broadcast.

Hinojosa has won two Emmy Awards, the Robert F. Kennedy Award for Reporting on the Disadvantaged, the AWRT Gracie Award for Individual Achievement as Best TV Correspondent. Three times over the last decade she has been named one of the most influential Latinos in the United States by Hispanic Business magazine. She received the Ruben Salazar Communications Award from the National Council of La Raza and was inducted into the "She Made It" Hall of Fame at the Paley Center/Museum of Television and Radio in a program that honors women trailblazers in the media.
