With the support of Target, Canela.TV will offer special programming that highlights Latina trailblazers for their work that adds value to our communities.

Isabel Rafferty Zavala, Canela Media founder and CEO, stated:

We celebrate women all year long at Canela Media, but International Women’s History Month gives us a moment to pause and highlight many of our Latina trailblazers and future leaders across our content verticals:  entertainment, music, kids and sports.

The slate of programs can be seen on all the platforms offered by the media company, among which include:

• Canela.TV
