Lucy Flores

Lucy is a licensed Nevada lawyer and former Nevada Assemblywoman. She and three of her Latina colleagues became the first Latinas to be elected to the state legislature in the state’s history in 2010. Lucy changed course in 2016 when she began a successful career in digital media. She launched the public affairs department at Latine digital publisher mitú and then co-founded Luz Media, realizing that Latinas, except for some stereotypes here and there, were almost entirely absent from mainstream media. She’s been on a mission to correct narratives and keep communities empowered with news and information they can trust ever since.
