Being Community Made with Fernanda Canchola and Maria Hampton

Listeners, we're back this week with Fernanda Canchola & Maria Hampton.

In 1986, five insightful local Latinas recognized the significant need for a unifying force – a strong Latina voice advocating for a greater Latina presence and a deeper Latina involvement in the educational, economic, political and social arenas.

These pioneering and resourceful women created that unifying force and voice by establishing the San Diego Chapter of MANA, a national Latina organization whose mission is to empower Latinas through education, leadership development, advocacy and community service.MANA short for “Hermana”, the Spanish word for sister, is a dynamic sisterhood of Latinas bound together by common history, culture, language and goals.

MANA de San Diego is a 501 © (3) non-profit organization, incorporated in the State of California in 1998. MANA is funded by membership dues, donations and the generous support of sponsors and partners. MANA de San Diego is the largest and most active MANA chapter, with more than 4,000 supporters.

Fernanda originates from the Imperial Valley, an agricultural and desert area bordering Arizona and Mexico. She graduated from San Diego State University in Business Administration and is pursuing a Master's of arts in interdisciplinary studies from Oregon State University's e-campus. She has experience in event planning, non-profit fundraising, affinity groups, database management, and volunteer management. She is currently working as Member and Donor Relations Manager at MANA de San Diego.

Maria Hampton is the Membership Committee Chair with MANA de San Diego. She has been with the Membership Committee since 2018 and brings forth new ideas on member engagement. Maria is currently a Branch Manager at Cal Coast Credit Union and has 14 years of experience in the financial sector.
