ABOUT Araceli Martínez
Araceli Martínez
Esta vez Indómitas pone la mirada sobre una mujer que ha hecho del periodismo una herramienta de servicio, memoria y resistencia. Una mujer que ha caminado desde los campos agrícolas del noroeste de México hasta los pasillos del poder en California, siempre con la mirada puesta en su comunidad.
Araceli Martínez es una voz clave del periodismo en español en Estados Unidos. Reportera de La Opinión, el periódico latino más antiguo de Los Ángeles que este año celebra 100 años de historia, Araceli ha dedicado su carrera a cubrir temas de inmigración, política y comunidad, contando las historias que muchas veces otros prefieren ignorar. Fue corresponsal en el Capitolio Estatal de California, donde logró entrevistas exclusivas con gobernadores y fue testigo directo de decisiones que impactan millones de vidas.
Pero antes de los titulares, antes de los reconocimientos y los micrófonos, está la niña que nació en Mazatlán, la joven que se formó en la UNAM, la reportera que aprendió el oficio en los campos agrícolas del Valle del Yaqui, narrando las luchas de ejidatarios y agricultores. Está también la mujer que decidió emigrar, reinventarse y seguir adelante sin soltar su pasión.
En este episodio queremos ir más allá de su currículum. Queremos conocer quién es Araceli desde su niñez hasta hoy, qué retos la han marcado, qué la ha sostenido en los momentos difíciles y qué significa para ella ser mujer, migrante y periodista en tiempos complejos.
Unete el miércoles, 28 de enero a las 6PM en San Francisco, 8PM Mexico a esta platica a corazón abierto para descubrir la historia de una mujer que, con cada palabra, sigue poniendo luz donde hace falta.
ENGLISH
This month, Indómitas focuses on a woman who has made journalism a tool for service, memory, and resistance. A woman who has journeyed from the agricultural fields of northwestern Mexico to the corridors of power in California, always with her community in mind.
Araceli Martínez is a key voice in Spanish-language journalism in the United States. A reporter for La Opinión, the oldest Latino newspaper in Los Angeles, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, Araceli has dedicated her career to covering immigration, politics, and community issues, telling the stories that others often prefer to ignore. She was a correspondent at the California State Capitol, where she secured exclusive interviews with governors and witnessed firsthand decisions that impact millions of lives.
But before the headlines, before the accolades and the microphones, there is the girl born in Mazatlán, the young woman who studied at UNAM, the reporter who learned her craft in the agricultural fields of the Yaqui Valley, chronicling the struggles of ejido members and farmers. There's also the woman who decided to emigrate, reinvent herself, and keep going without abandoning her passion.
In this episode, we want to go beyond her resume. We want to get to know who Araceli is, from her childhood to the present day, what challenges have shaped her, what has sustained her through difficult times, and what it means for her to be a woman, a migrant, and a journalist in complex times.
Join us on Wednesday, January 28th at 6PM / 8PM Mexico, for this heartfelt conversation to discover the story of a woman who, with every word, continues to shine a light where it's needed.

Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
