3. Maria Elena Salinas I am my Father’s Daughter. Living a Life without Secrets .
Called by The New York Times, “The Voice of Hispanic America”, Emmy-award winning anchor Maria Elena Salinas is the most recognized Hispanic female journalist in the United States. For the past 25 years Salinas has informed millions of Hispanics in the United States and 18 countries in Latin America. As co-anchor for the highly rated “Noticiero Univision”, she has handled some of the most challenging assignments in modern day journalism.

Throughout the years, Salinas has interviewed more world leaders, dictators and political figures than any other female journalist. She has interviewed nearly every U.S. President since Jimmy Carter and followed Pope John Paul II on a dozen foreign trips, including his historic visit to Cuba in 1998 and ultimately his funeral at the Vatican. Her list of groundbreaking reports include exclusive interviews with Mexican Presidents Carlos Salinas de Gortari, Ernesto Zedillo and Vicente Fox; Carlos Ménem of Argentina, Chile’s Augusto Pinochet, Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega, Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, Violeta Chamorro and Enrique Bolaños; Colombia’s Cesar Gaviria, Andres Pastrana and Alvaro Uribe; Peru’s Alberto Fujimori and Alejandro Toledo, as well as other prominent political figures of the past two decades, such as the enigmatic Mexican rebel leader Sub-Comandante Marcos.
Salinas has reported from the White House to the Kremlin, from the O.J. Simpson trial in Los Angeles to the funeral of Princess Diana in London, and from earthquake-ravaged El Salvador to the war torn streets of Baghdad.

Salinas’ work has earned her several journalistic awards. Her coverage of Hurricane Mitch helped win Univisión two national Emmy Awards in 2000, the first time a Spanish-language network has received that coveted prize. She also earned an Emmy Award for a network broadcast town hall meeting she moderated with Mexican President Vicente Fox in Los Angeles and was part of the Univisión news team that received the Edward R. Murrow Award for the network’s coverage of the Atlanta Olympic Park bombings in 1996.
In addition to her position as network anchor, Salinas co-hosts the prime-time television news magazine "Aqui y Ahora." She is one of the few Hispanic syndicated columnists in the United States. Her weekly column on U.S. Hispanic issues and Latin America is distributed by King Features Syndicates in both English and Spanish to more than 55 daily newspapers in the country. Salinas also writes a weekly column on Hispanic issues for www.univision.com and is a regular analyst of “Latino USA” hosted by Maria Hinojosa s.
Salinas has also been featured on the cover of Hispanic Magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential Hispanics" in the United States, and was named one of the top 15 Most Influential Hispanics among Latino voters in a poll conducted by Hispanic Voter Trends. Her work has also been recognized by the National Hispanic Media Coalition

5. Teresa Rodriguez
More than 400 women and girls have been murdered in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in recent years. The border city, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, is experiencing a unique series of offenses.
Horrific crimes are being committed against women, many being found raped, mutilated, their bodies dumped in the desert. Largely, the killings remain unsolved.
For Univision correspondent Teresa Rodriguez, drawing attention to what many consider a failed police response has become an obsession. The former local news anchor conducted her own investigation into the killings and seeks to give an eye-opening account of the Ciudad Juarez murders in her book The Daughters of Juarez: A True Story of Serial Murder South of the Border.

We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For
You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.It is time to speak your Truth.Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader. This could be a good time!There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
—The Elders Oraibi Arizona Hopi Nation
