A Letter From Our Founder

Ghislaine Leon

Los Angeles has called for a new vision for the collective of Latine and multicultural brilliance. With the help of trusted friends and passionate executives, I’m building this vision, The Latin Quarter. Our website is live and we welcome you all to join me and the best of today’s multi-hyphenate creatives on our quest to bring back the essence of the LQ hub’s in Paris and New York City.

About Latin Quarter

Born from a deep appreciation for our heritage and a relentless drive to shape our narrative, The Latin Quarter is more than a collective—it’s a movement of Latinx trailblazers rewriting the future.
