This week marks a historic moment for Latino literature in the United States. After 45 years of leadership, Dr. Nicolás Kanellos, founder of Arte Público Press, is stepping down, passing the torch to a new generation committed to amplifying Latino voices.
We first came across this story in the Houston Chronicle and felt it was important to share with our community. Arte Público Press represents the power of Latino storytelling, and this milestone deserves recognition.
Founded in 1979 at the University of Houston, Arte Público Press is the nation’s oldest and largest Latino-focused publishing house. Over the decades, it has published more than 700 titles, bringing forward powerful works from acclaimed authors such as Sandra Cisneros and Victor Villaseñor. Its mission has always been clear: to ensure Latino stories are told, celebrated, and preserved.
As Dr. Kanellos transitions into retirement, Dr. Gabriela Baeza Ventura steps in as Executive Director, prepared to expand the press’s reach into the digital era. Her vision includes advancing the U.S. Latino Digital Humanities Center, fostering new talent, and building pathways for emerging Latino authors whose voices are too often overlooked.
At Silicon Valley Latino, we celebrate @ for its unwavering dedication to representation and cultural preservation. This transition not only honors the legacy of Dr. Kanellos but also reaffirms a powerful truth: our stories matter, and our voices will continue to shape the future of American literature.

On June 25th, Silicon Valley Latino had the pleasure of screening its award-winning documentary "CAMPESINOS: America's Unsung Heroes" at Stanford University. SVL was delighted to have collaborated with Lorena Fregoso, MBA and Samantha Chacon Sifuentes, Co-Chairs to the La Raza Employee Resource Group, who invited members of this special ERG to participate in the screening and post screening panel discussion. We also want to thank Sandra Sencion, Farmworker Program Director at Ayudando Latinos A Soñar for joining as part of our post sreening panel.

It was a true pleasure to have had the opportunity to bring our film to Stanford and incredibly meaningful to us to have screened it the historic "El Centro Chicano y Latino". We would also like to thank El Centro's staff (Elvira Prieto, Margaret Sena, Ph.D.. and Jacob V. for their hospitality.

At Silicon Valley Latino, we’re honored to share a powerful reflection by co-founder Ricardo E Archila, titled “In the In-Between: Finding My Salvadoran American Identity.”
This heartfelt piece captures the complexities of growing up Salvadoran American, navigating identity, and creating space for healing and cultural expression. Ricardo’s story is not only deeply personal—it speaks to a broader movement of reclaiming and celebrating who we are.
We invite you to read, reflect, and join us in sharing this voice that represents so many in our community.

“I didn’t grow up going to Salvadoran festivals—because they were nonexistent.

Most of what I learned about my culture came from family parties or the informal gatherings in the apartment buildings where Salvadoran families huddled together. I was born in Canoga Park, in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, far from the larger Salvadoran enclaves in the city. My parents had immigrated from El Salvador in the early ’80s, like many others fleeing war, instability, and poverty. When we got together, it wasn’t called “cultural preservation.” It was just surviving. Just family.”
