What People Say
Randall M. Tucker
EVP AND CHIEF INCLUSION OFFICER AT MASTERCARD
CLAUDIA TRULY INSPIRED ME WITH HER AUTHENTICITY, PASSION, AND BUSINESS SENSE.
She helped our audience understand the clear connection between inclusion of all communities and good business and economic sense. She made us laugh, and she also made us tear up when she shared a moving story about rescuing survivors of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake.

CLAUDIA HAS TAUGHT ME THE POWER OF RESILIENCE.
Claudia is truly an incredible person —one who has not only supported me but has also profoundly influenced my personal and professional growth. Her wisdom and unwavering belief in moving forward, no matter the obstacles, have shaped the way I approach life and challenges.
Dr. Juan Andrade Jr.
PRESIDENT AT USHLI
THE MOST PROMISING HISPANIC LEADER ON THE HORIZON IN AMERICA TODAY.
While she is a relatively new voice in the choir of emerging and/or established leaders, Claudia brings to the community immeasurable talent, intellect, vision, decency, cultural competence, experience, clarity, and a unique single-mindedness of purpose.
Luis Miguel Messianu
FOUNDER-PRESIDENT-CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER MEL
A HOMEGROWN U.S. LATINO HEROINE, CLAUDIA IS THE ULTIMATE HISPANIC STAR.
A relentless messenger of good news, always seeking the bright side, spreading optimism, and ensuring the world recognizes the worth of our communities. She is the “human” behind We Are All Human—a driving force, a voice of consciousness, and an unparalleled source of data and insights.
Jane Goodall
HOLA@IBM PRODUCTION TEAM
YOUR PASSION FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS TRULY INSPIRING AND INFECTIOUS!
Te envíamos un gran abrazo and sincerely thank you for participating in our podcast, Voces. We can't thank you and your team enough for helping us realize this important conversation.
Miguel Bohorquez
REALTOR
THANK YOU, CLAUDIA, FOR DELIVERING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPEECH.
Today wasn't a good day for me, but after watching your video, I found it very powerful. I had a challenging conversation with one of my colleagues today. As a realtor and a Colombian, the discussion centered around my insecurities about speaking with random people in the street. Thank you, Claudia, for giving us such a beautiful perspective and helping to survive my day.
Jessica Tarin
CREATIVE STRATEGIST AND TEDx SPEAKER
SHE SHIFTED MY PERSPECTIVE.
Everything changed last year when I went to a conference and I had an “aha” moment. Claudia shared powerful data about the Latino community that opened my eyes to our strength and importance. I learned I needed to flip the script. I understood after years of self-censorship of my Spanglish that my accent isn’t a weakness —it’s a strength.
Pamela Guzman
PROJECT & COMMUNITY MANAGER
CLAUDIA ROMO EDELMAN TAUGHT ME TO DREAM BIGGER.
I came to the U.S. at 13, navigating school, college, and my career alone. By 27, I thought I’d made it. But imposter syndrome told me otherwise. Today, I’m earning my MBA and reclaiming my confidence. My wings are growing back.
Alfredo Sandoval
SPORTS BUSINESS STRATEGIST, ENTREPRENEUR AND INVESTOR
THAT MOMENT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.
In the professional world, being Latino often makes the climb harder. Then Hispanic Star gave me a ticket to Advertising Week, where I met my hero, Tim Armstrong. Claudia Romo Edelman introduced me, and he handed me his card.
Carmen Fraser
SENIOR MARKETING EXECUTIVE
CLAUDIA INSPIRED ME —I HAVE GROWN MY CAREER IN MARKETING, MAKING BIGGER AND BOLDER MOVES.
But I also started getting inspired about how far I can go —I was reminded of my own super powers of connection and community building. Moving to leadership roles, leading the Americas office of a global agency, and latterly working for a Hispanic nonprofit.
Cynthia Kleinbaum Milner
CO-FOUNDER OF A LA LATINA
HER ABILITY TO CONNECT, ENERGIZE, AND EMPOWER IS UNBELIEVABLE.
Claudia is an extraordinary force of inspiration—a speaker who doesn’t just share wisdom but ignites something deep within her audience. She has a way of making every person in the room believe not only in the power of their dreams but in their ability to make those dreams a reality.
Maria Marshall
GLOBAL ENABLEMENT TRADE COMPLIANCE MANAGER FOR GOOGLE
AS CLAUDIA SAYS: WE ARE SEEN, WE ARE HEARD, WE ARE VALUED.
For years, I hid my heritage —even from my children. At work, I downplayed my Latinidad, fearing it would hold me back. But when I learned how much Latinos contribute to this country, something changed. Pride replaced shame.
Carole Joseph
ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR OF PEOPLE EN ESPAÑOL
ENGAGING, ELOQUENT, AND CONSISTENTLY WELL-PREPARED.
She has a remarkable ability to connect with audiences, delivering insightful messages in a way that is both impactful and entertaining. Her presence on our People en Español “25 Most Powerful Women” panel elevated the conversation and contributed to the event’s overall success.
Chelsey Kramer
DEIB PROGRAM MANAGER AT NERDWALLET
CLAUDIA'S ENTHUSIASM, AUTHENTICITY, AND DYNAMIC PRESENCE MADE HER KEYNOTE AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.
She delivered an extraordinary International Women's Day keynote at NerdWallet! Her ability to engage and interact with our remote audience was truly remarkable, making the session both energizing and actionable. Our employees found her insights deeply impactful, leaving them inspired and motivated to take action.
Staniel Tetteh
