OUR HISTORY & MISSION:

Founded in 2001, CATALINA magazine portrays Hispanic women as they are smart, savvy, and sophisticated! Today, it is a multi-platform media company staying true to its mission: to break the stereotypes of Latinas too often seen on TV, in movies, and in other magazines.

Today, CATALINA is the only magazine, and lifestyle brand, for "the mind, body, and soul of today's Latina" -- always featuring the best of the best in our community.

Don't take our word for it. Here's what Actress Sarah Shahi ("Carmen" from the L Word) says about CATALINA:
