About Janette Luviano

With more than 25 years of experience in bilingual, multiplatform journalism, I now lead Programs and Operations at Sachamama, a nonprofit organization working to elevate Latino voices and accelerate climate action across the U.S. and Latin America. My work sits at the intersection of journalism, community engagement, and climate communication. I believe storytelling and strategic media can help communities better understand the challenges we face and the solutions already taking shape. At Sachamama, I oversee initiatives that connect journalists, organizations, and communities with the information and tools needed to drive climate awareness and action. Huella Zero – an environmental news platform that provides original reporting, stories, and resources for media partners and Latino audiences across the U.S. and Latin America. Climate Hub Sachamama – a learning platform that offers courses, tools, and practical resources to support climate literacy, sustainability, and leadership in Latino communities. Latinos por la Tierra – helping organizations ensure climate messaging is culturally relevant and rooted in the voices of the communities most affected. Through Luviano Consultant Media, I also work with journalists, nonprofits, and organizations on media strategy, talent coaching, and bilingual storytelling. I’m always open to conversations about climate communication, Latino engagement, journalism, and collaboration. If you’re working on projects that aim to inform communities and drive solutions, feel free to reach out.
