Nuestro Stories is a Latino-owned digital media and production platform that celebrates and documents the origin stories of U.S. Latino culture. Created by Angela Sustaita-Ruiz and Manny Ruiz —  trailblazers in the Latino social media and marketing industries — Nuestro Stories spotlights the traditions, foods, music, places, icons, sports, and milestones that define Latino history and continue to shape today’s pop culture.

As pioneers in Latino social media marketing and the founders of the influential Hispanicize conference, Angela and Manny bring decades of experience and deep roots within the Latino community to every story told. Through compelling storytelling — from bite-sized videos to podcasts — Nuestro Stories showcases the richness, pride, and power of U.S. Latino heritage.

Our Editorial Philosophy

Fiercely nonpartisan and deeply inclusive, Nuestro Stories reflects the full breadth of Latino identity — spanning the U.S. mainland, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, and connections to Spain. We create content for multi-generational Hispanics 18+, offering stories that inform, inspire, and uplift.

We are committed to showcasing the diversity of the Latino experience — honoring different backgrounds, perspectives, and identities, from Afro-Latinos to LGBTQ voices and beyond. Our goal is to ensure Latino history and culture are represented authentically, creatively, and with pride.

We welcome feedback from our audiences and invite you to be part of the storytelling journey that makes these truly Nuestro Stories.

Partnership with the FRIENDS

Nuestro Stories is proud to collaborate with the Friends of the National American Latino Museum, an organization working to establish a permanent Smithsonian museum on the National Mall. Together, we share a commitment to ensuring that the stories and contributions of Latinos in the United States are recognized, celebrated, and preserved for future generations.
