20 Latina Parents on Instagram to Follow Right Now

It's so important that my young daughter explores and appreciates her Hispanic heritage. Spanish was my first language as a first-generation American and a daughter of immigrants. I have many vivid childhood memories of my mom telling me stories in Spanish. My imagination would run wild with visions of los pollitos (the little chicks) sleeping in their beds or Caperucita Roja (Little Red Riding Hood) pulling a fast one on the big bad wolf. Now, as I try to teach my daughter our Spanish language, she, too, can't get enough of the bedtime stories.

Through my blogging and content-creating work, I'm thankful to have met (both virtually and IRL) so many Latina parents who share the importance of Latina parenthood in every facet of their lives. These are strong Latinas who inspire me and who my daughter can look up to.

Read about and hear from 20 fascinating Latina parents to follow on Instagram.

With an Instagram as bright as her Southern California lifestyle, Chelsi Lovos Eiselstein is a mama who keeps it honest. She openly embraces her struggles and joy and always emphasizes self-care.

Her content is a vibrant mix of parenting, travel, and raising awareness about critical social issues. To top it all off, she advocates for mental health, domestic violence, and child sexual abuse survivors by sharing her story to inspire others.

As a parent of three in a blended family, Eiselstein keeps her Salvadoran and Cuban heritage alive by teaching her kiddos Spanish and delicious traditional Hispanic dishes like pupusas.

3. Perla Farias: @xicana_mama

With a mantra that "the revolution starts in the home," Perla Farias is a parent of four (including two adorable twin toddlers—you seriously have to catch their cuteness in her Stories) who is passionate about Mother Earth, holistic healing, and social justice.

I love learning through her conscious living and reading her words that often serve as that much-needed positive affirmation to get you through the day. From portrait photography, blogging, and videography, Farias takes pride in her culture and community and strives to live a wholehearted life.

When asked how she celebrates her Mexican heritage, Farias replied: "It's just a part of who we are. I wouldn't say we celebrate it. We live it. Through the food we eat, the relationships we have, the stories we read, the art we have in our homes, and the traditions we carry."

4. Ana Flores: @laflowers

If you're reading this and you're a Latina blogger/creator, you're probably smiling right now: Ana Flores is a household name in the Latina creatives' world.

She's widely known for her successful We All Grow Latina community, which helps Latinas in all their entrepreneurial and creative efforts through mentorship, brand collaborations, events, and the We All Grow Latina summit. Flores is an OG blogger and content creator with more than a decade of experience to her name. She is an inspiring example of how far content creation can take you. It's always refreshing to see her family life in her Instagram squares.

Flores celebrates her Salvadorian culture with her daughter by "being who we authentically are," she says. "Our friends are mostly Latinx from various countries, so she gets exposed to our music, foods, Spanish language, and more all the time. It's just who we are. Plus, she hears me speak and advocate for Latinas day in and day out. It's just in her blood."

5. Janet Gomez: @jans_spring

We have family in Ensenada, including my grandparents, and we go fairly often. I love to expose my girls to the things I am not able to do on an everyday basis. My daughters are also half Central American, and it is extremely important to me that I expose them to both cultures."

6. Kisha Gulley: @panamakish

This parent of two has some serious style! It's no wonder Kisha Gulley also does some modeling. While I love stalking Gulley's Instagram for fashion inspo, I also love her honest posts. Whether she's talking about equality or advocating for Autism (her eldest child was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorder)—Gulley's squares have a beautiful harmony. Her blog, The Kisha Project, is chock full of quality content, including her struggle with postpartum depression and general anxiety disorder.

Gulley takes pride in her Panamanian heritage and as an Afro-Latina every day. "I make sure my sons know about our culture, everything from the food to the language," she says.

7. Darlene Lebron: @suitsheelscurves

Darlene Lebron seamlessly delivers stylish content while creating safe discussions around self-acceptance, self-love, family, health, and more. A parent of two in a blended family, this jefa keeps busy with her virtual plus size consignment store, The Blogger House Curvy Closet (aka "the plus size HSN"). With an MBA in executive management and numerous features in major media outlets, Lebron has seriously got it going on.

On celebrating her Puerto Rican heritage, Lebron shared: "My parents still live in Puerto Rico, so our daily FaceTime sessions with Awila—abuela to my little one—is a lesson in our homeland. From speaking in Spanish to salsa dance-offs to showing her the aguacate tree. We travel 'home' a lot, and even at a young age, they know that Puerto Rico is a part of them."

8. Jacqueline Hernandez Lewis: @momentsofmusing

Transitioning from attorney to a work-from-home communications career so that she could be more present with her two children, Lewis now hustles with CONNECT. This nonprofit works to prevent interpersonal and domestic violence and promote gender justice. Somewhere in between the hustle and bustle of parenting life and working from home, Lewis finds the time to create thoughtful and engaging content. Through her writing, Hernandez covers essential topics around parenting and activism in an effort to empower all parents, especially BIPOC moms who don't always receive the same visibility and support as others.

"Life as a Latina mom is besos, cuddles y cariño aplenty," she says. "It is honoring mi [Puerto Rican] cultura while personalizing it to mi familia. It's modeling acceptance and love of diversity. It's morning salsa/ reggaeton dance parties; speaking Spanglish (with the hope of raising bilingual babies but have to work on speaking more español en la casa)."

Don't come hungry when cruising by Bricia Lopez's feed.

Neuhaus celebrates her Mexican culture with her sons every day through cooking and music. "Food and music are a universal language," Neuhaus explains. "Cooking family recipes and sharing stories is an amazing way to create beautiful memories and to also keep our traditions alive by handing them down to another generation. Same with music; we feel it in our soul, and combining it with food evokes all our senses. The perfect vehicle for children to learn."

We have visited El Salvador for my son to connect with family and the roots of his ancestors and heritage."

13. Stephanie Prosa: @lovetheprosas

Stephanie Prosa is a force to be reckoned with. I love her vibrant Instagram posts, but I really love her Instagram Stories. She shares bits of her life with her three kids while keeping it real AF, comedy and all. I mean, have you seen this Instagram Reel of hers go viral? I think I watched it about 20 times. The look on her little girl's face is pure gold. Through her Instagram, Prosa covers content focused on mental wellness, self-love, body acceptance, plus-sized fashion, and more. She is a breath of fresh air in a time when the influencer landscape lacks authenticity and raw lifestyle.

Prosa and her girls celebrate their Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage through music and food, "My girls and I love being in the kitchen together/ cooking recipes from my grandma and mom!"

14. Romelia Ramos: @lifethroughmamaeyes

She is a bilingual content creator and was recently featured on the Spanish television network Telemundo's morning talk show Un Nuevo Día.

From Guadalajara, Mexico, Ramos' Mexican culture is very important to her. "At home, we strive to speak Spanish so that the kids can continue practicing and make progress," Ramos shares. "We celebrate all the holidays and make sure to share the why behind the celebrations, we read books, we cook lots of Mexican family meals passed down from our family. Instilling our traditions and beliefs to our children is huge for me."

15. Daniela Rey: @mamanielaco

Through her photography business Mama Niela, Daniela Rey truly captures the essence of all things family. Her Instagram is scroll-binge worthy with its endless stream of beautiful images that feature babies, pregnant bellies, and the beauty of a parent's love.

With her home once being Colombia, Rey celebrates her culture with her daughters by being "committed to raising bilingual girls who are able to explore their heritage and make friends in any Hispanic country of this world."

16. Manuela Gómez-Rhodes: @marilynmonrolex

Originally from Bogota, Colombia, Manuela is a busy parent of three and quite the content machine. Her Instagram is a colorful delight covering motherhood/señora life, fashion, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy. Rhodes' entrepreneurial spirit in event production spawned her "4th child," The Brunch!, a mixer and vendor market made for creatives and small businesses with markets in Houston, Austin, and Atlanta. She recently started a video series called "D.I.WILD," where she shares her DIY tips and tricks, including how she fashioned an old shoebox into a rotating sunglasses display case!

When it comes to celebrating her Colombian heritage, Rhodes shared: "I do my best to speak Spanish to my sons at all times—it is difficult because big sister and dad speak English—but my goal is to continue to push through so that they all end up learning. We also bond over Colombian food. Arepas are a staple in our home, and we also are always eating something Colombian … I try to introduce them to as much of what I remember and loved eating when I was there. Another important way we celebrate our Hispanic culture is by constantly talking to my family in Colombia … There's nothing like a true Colombian accent to make you feel at home."

17. Chantel Rodriguez: @chooseloveart

We make it a point to pass down the lessons, recipes, and even dances that our elders taught us to preserve and honor our heritage. It's beautiful to see my son carry on the legacy."

Through food, books, songs, and the languages they speak, Segura celebrates her Guatemalan and Mexican heritage with her daughters. "Being the second generation, we spoke Spanish only when we lived with my grandma when I was very young," Segura explains. "Once we moved to a different city, we spoke English, and I lost a lot of what I was taught.

Sierra celebrates her Hispanic heritage with her toddler by "introducing her to songs or food from our home countries."

"She's still very young, but at least she knows where Mommy and Daddy are from."
