About Cristina

Cristina Escobar (sometimes also Andrade) is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of LatinaMedia.Co, a digital publication uplifting Latina and gender non-conforming Latinx perspectives in media. She came to that work with more than a decade of experience working on feminist causes.

Today she is a regular contributor to the A.V. Club, Roger Ebert, and NPR's Pop Culture Happ Hour with bylines in outlets like Glamour, Latino Rebels, Refinery29, Remezcla, TODAY, and Vulture. Her credentials also include being a TEDx speaker, a board member of the Latino Entertainment Journalists Association, a member of the Critics Choice Association, and a Rotten-Tomatoes-approved critic.

When she’s not opining on the state of Latinx representation in print, on the radio, or at events, she’s loving life in Santa Fe, NM with her spouse, two kids, and rescue dog.
