9 Latinas of Our Generation Who Are Proving They're Unstoppable

Another unstoppable Mexican woman is Mariand Castrejón Castañeda, better known as Yuya. She began her makeup Youtube account in 2009 after winning a makeup contest at 16 years old. In 2016, she was one of seven female YouTube creators who joined the United Nations' Sustainable Development Action Campaign, aiming to "achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls."

Yuya has written two books: Los Secretos de Yuya (2015) and Las Confesiones de Yuya (2016), released a perfume called #True, and a makeup collection. Yuya has been recognized with a star in Las Vegas Walk of Stars, and has created her own cosmetics line sold exclusively in Mexico called Bailando Juntos.

Yuya has become one of the most successful YouTubers from the makeup community and has been an inspiration to Latinx to work hard and achieve dreams.
