I met Elianne online through the #Latism Twitter parties in October, 2009, three short years ago, critical years that have been integral to many changes in my life. Besides the amazing local social media community in South Florida, the #Latism Twitter parties made an impact on me because I experienced first hand and organically, the power of an online community, developing those relationships offline and continuing to nurture them online.\u00a0Besides her service for <a title=\"Latism\" href=\"https:\/\/latism.org\" target=\"_blank\">Latism<\/a>, Elianne \u00a0has been a professional Public Relations and Marketing Strategist for the Hispanic market for many years, plus a mom and wife to a supportive husband and a true friend to many.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a title=\"Latina Bloggers At The White House : #TopBlogueras by blancastella, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/blancamejia\/7257636136\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Elianne Hugging Jennifer Hutchinson at Top Blogueras\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7228\/7257636136_33fabe4034_n.jpg?resize=320%2C240&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Latina Bloggers At The White House : #TopBlogueras\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elianne Hugging Jennifer Hutchinson at Top Blogueras<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Elianne endured long hours each and every week for the past four and a half years without fail to support others, listen to them and share their stories so their voices could make a difference.
