Are you looking for the best sustainable Latinx influencers you should follow in 2024? You’re in luck! We’ve done the research and together this list of the best sustainable Latin influencers you should follow in 2024!!
Sustainable Influencers are making a huge positive impact in our World! It’s time to announce our top favorite Latinx Influencers to follow in 2024 to keep the sustainable party going.
We’ve discussed the MASSIVE impact that digital creators, or Influencers, have on the fashion industry in this past blog post. After the amazing response from our community, we decided to take it a step further. We will be sharing all of our favorite sustainable influencers from various categories!
BIPOC influencers haven’t always been at the forefront of the sustainable fashion push (which is ridiculous). However, as more social media users recognize the importance of racial and social justice, influencers of color are finding their voices and bringing their unique style to the masses. Many of these creators are addressing not only conscious consumerism but also extremely important topics like race and colonialism, climate justice, mental health, and immigration. BIPOC influencers are offering their followers more than just trendy fits – though there is a lot of inspiring fashion happening here!
So, which Latinx influencers should we trust in the Sustainable Niche?
1. Tania Gabriela
Tania is one of our favorite Latinx Influencers on this list – she is on a mission! Not only did she serve as Chief of Staff for a congressional race in New York City, but she also started a peer-to-peer fashion rental website called StyleLend. On top of that, she serves on the board of Amplify Her, Unicef Unite, and Planned Parenthood’s Activist Council! As if that wasn’t impressive enough, she started her own sustainable style blog called Sustainably Stylish in 2016. Her Instagram is a peek into her sustainability journey and her life as a mother, homeowner, and activist!
2. Danielle Alvarado
3. Jazmine Rogers
Jazmine has that special Influencer-You-Want-to-be-Friends-With thing nailed. She has built her brand on honesty, playfulness, and thrifting skills that put the rest of us to shame. Her Instagram and Youtube Channel are bright and bubbly – places where she showcases her latest thrift finds or DIY projects – but also acts as safe spaces for her followers to deep-dive into discussions around race, sustainability, colonialism, and how these topics interact in the real world.
Jazmine makes it clear: she isn’t an expert, and she doesn’t expect us to be either. But we can and should be accountable for our actions and keep working to make conscious changes for the better. Lucky for us, She’s here to be our cheerleader along the way!
4. Ana Fernanda
Ana Fernanda of The Second Runway has style oozing out of her. To glance at her Instagram, you would think you have stumbled upon a high-street fashionista, and indeed, you have!

Mexican-born and now working in Australia, Ana’s creations blend Mexican romanticism with playfulness and inclusiveness. Check out her brand page, Fernanda Covarrubias, to shop her latest creations!
