Abril García: Voice, Bridge, and Media Architect for Nebraska’s Latino Community
Abril García is a bridge builder whose vision and grit have shaped Latino media in Nebraska. For over 25 years, she has led Mundo Latino Publications, amplifying stories of community, opportunity, and justice through print and digital platforms.
Early in her career, Abril recognized a gap: Latino communities often lacked access to media that spoke their language, lived their experiences, and advanced their interests. She stepped into that void. Over time, under her leadership, Mundo Latino Network expanded to include Radar, a Hispanic-focused job board initiative, and digital platforms aimed at closing communication gaps in recruitment and employment.
Abril serves as a familiar face on Noticiero Mundo Latino (MLTV), co-hosting broadcasts that bring timely news and analysis to Spanish-speaking audiences across Nebraska. In a media climate that often sidelines Latino voices, she inserts authenticity, context, and accountability.
Her influence shows up in metrics and hearts. Radar, under her direction, is designed to connect job seekers with opportunities in Latino communities. Meanwhile, Mundo Latino journalism consistently highlights immigrant rights, worker issues, and civic engagement, often breaking stories that major outlets miss.
Abril’s media footprint is rooted in advocacy. She fosters narratives where Latinos are not merely characters in someone else’s story, but authors of their own. In Nebraska’s evolving Latino mosaic, Abril Garcia stands as a cultural architect: forging an infrastructure of visibility, trust, and voice.
