Cristina Saralegui is a Cuban-born American journalist, television personality, and media entrepreneur recognized for her impact on Spanish-language broadcasting. Saralegui began her career in print journalism, serving as editor-in-chief of the Spanish-language version of "Cosmopolitan" magazine distributed throughout Latin America. She started as an intern at the women's magazine "Vanidades," eventually becoming a features editor.

Saralegui also established her own production studio, becoming a Latina studio owner in the industry.
Her contributions to media and culture have been recognized with honors such as the GLAAD Media Vanguard Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the ALMA Awards Community Service Award.
