Creating the room
Emiliana began in event staffing, then moved into producing her own festivals, concerts, street events, and cultural experiences.
Her story
A life built around showing up.
Emiliana Guereca is an activist, entrepreneur, author, and producer who has spent her career turning ideas into rooms, events, and movements people can join.
Raised in Chicago in a Mexican immigrant family, Emiliana was the first in her family to attend college. She later came to Los Angeles and began building a career in event production, creating festivals, concerts, and public gatherings.
In 2016, she founded the Women’s March Foundation. The work that followed brought women, families, advocates, and community partners into the streets and into sustained programs for leadership, education, and care.
“We need to identify our power and step into it.”
Today, Emiliana continues to build places where people can gather, be seen, and move forward together, from conversations on stage to community spaces in Los Angeles.

She founded the Women’s March Foundation to create a lasting home for advocacy, leadership, and action in Los Angeles.
