Amigos was created by Danay Escanaverino in December 2020 during the height of the pandemic when Clubhouse’s social audio app launched.
Soon after, she was joined by a team of founding admins, who shared her vision of creating a community for Latinos, by Latinos to elevate Latino professionals.
The admins have evolved into a leadership team which consists of Latinx professionals and influencers who are committed to creating and hosting spaces and collaborations that foster connections and opportunities for the community to serve its mission.
The Mission
