    Representation Matters: The Latina Voice Redefining Travel Media with Jeannette Ceja | #122
    Oct 8 2025
    Award-winning bilingual travel journalist, TV host, and speaker Jeannette Ceja has visited over 60 countries, redefining what it means to see the world through a Latina lens. With her first passport at just nine months old, she’s spent her life using storytelling to bridge cultures and amplify underrepresented voices. At sixteen, she wrote a heartfelt letter to the editor after seeing J.Lo on the cover of CosmoGIRL!—only to have her words printed in the very issue featuring Beyoncé on the cover, a moment that revealed the power of words and representation. Today, Jeannette continues to challenge perceptions and champion visibility for women of color in travel media, reminding us that how we communicate—and who gets to be seen—can change everything.
