Brilla Media is a leading Latino-owned media company dedicated to uplifting and celebrating the Hispanic community through powerful, engaging storytelling. Our mission is to forge authentic connections between brands and Latino audiences, enhancing representation in media and empowering the voices that shape our culture.

Founded by digital industry pioneers and Hispanicize co-founders Angela Sustaita-Ruiz and Manny Ruiz, Brilla Media stands on a legacy of innovation in Latino media. As trailblazers in the industry, Angela and Manny have built and sold landmark ventures, including the first Latino Social Media Marketing platform, Latino Influencer Marketing network, Hispanic Newspaper and Magazine Website Network, and Hispanic Press Release Wire services—culminating in three major exits totaling over $75 million.

In 2022, Brilla Media’s founders, alongside actor and activist John Leguizamo, were part of the team that sold NGL Media / Hispanicize to GoDigital Media Group, further solidifying their impact in the Hispanic digital space.

Today, alongside co-founder and executive producer Carlos Ponce, Brilla Media continues its mission to amplify Latino voices and create spaces where authentic stories thrive. We believe in the power of media to connect communities, celebrate culture, and drive meaningful representation.
