Providing an opportunity for small, micro, and emerging business to be recognized for their ingenuity, creativity, and perseverance is of paramount importance in the face of new economic challenges. Buena Vida Media hosts the awards in partnership with the Latin American Business Association to bring attention to the positive contributions and important economic impact made by Hispanic entrepreneurs in South Florida and the US during Hispanic Heritage Month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year we have introduced the Fierce Ally Award. The pandemic taught us that we don\u2019t do this alone. The myth of the \u201cself-made\u201d man has been dispelled. We need one another to accomplish, to grow and to progress. The Hispanic community, and Latinas in particular need allies and champions from outside of our community to help us overcome and navigate the obstacles we are facing in this new economy. Fortunately, there are companies, organizations, and leaders around us that have been fierce allies and advocates for Hispanics in the US throughout the years, and their unprecedented support has been especially important in the aftermath of the pandemic to help us rebuild our businesses, families, and communities. We are honored to recognize them this year,\u201d\u00a0stated Janie Flores, CEO and Founder, Buena Vida Media.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The 5th Annual Hispanic Heritage Entrepreneur Awards:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Business Champion of the Year: MD Conexiones, Maria De la Cruz, CEO &amp; Founder<\/p>\n<p>Startup Entrepreneur Award: Zuleyka Garcia, Realtor<\/p>\n<p>Startup Entrepreneur Award: Michaelkin Jewelry, Alma Stevenson, Founder<\/p>\n<p>Startup Entrepreneur Award: Tito Puente, Jr. Picante Hot Sauces<\/p>\n<p>Educator of the Year Award: Marcela Coach de Vida, Marcela Reynolds, CEO &amp; Founder<\/p>\n<p>Sustainable Beauty Company of the Year Award: Vitiv, Patricia Goudie, CEO &amp; Founder<\/p>\n<p>Social Impact Champion of the Year Award: Mexico Culture &amp; Pride, Adriana Pavon, CEO &amp; Founder<\/p>\n<p>Public Relations Champion of the Year Award:\u00a0Creativas Group PR, Liza Santana-Pi\u00f1eres<\/p>\n<p>Online Community Entrepreneur of the Year Award: The Blogger Union, Paola Mendez, Founder<\/p>\n<p>Healthcare Company of the Year: Award: Humana MarketPoint<\/p>\n<p>Humanitarian Organization of the Year Award:\u00a0Centro Comunitario AFE, Ruben Gimenez, CEO &amp; Founder<\/p>\n<p>Fierce Ally Award: Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program<\/p>\n<p>Fierce Ally Award: FL House of Representative Marie P.
