Recognizing the women whose stories inspire change and open doors for others
The Tribute to Hispanic Women 2026, hosted by Emprendiendo con Pasión, is a signature annual celebration honoring Latina leaders whose work, resilience, and leadership are shaping the future of our communities.
Now in its 18th year, this prestigious event will take place exclusively in Houston, bringing together professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, educators, and community advocates for a powerful morning of recognition, inspiration, and meaningful connection.
