In 2012 she co-founded mitú, the leading digital media brand and emerging voice of young Latinos in the U.S. that delivers mainstream media with a Latino POV. At mitú, she created the “mitú Accelerator,” a mentorship initiative that provides access to the next generation of multi-cultural storytellers.

The Acevedo Foundation also supports numerous cultural and arts programs throughout Mexico.
