Amanda Díaz, a Cuban-born social media influencer, has been recognized by Forbes magazine as one of the distinguished young talents in their "30 Under 30" list. Forbes highlights that Amanda is a beauty creator with Cuban-American roots who has attracted over 6 million followers and collaborated with prestigious brands such as Dior, Ralph Lauren, YSL, and Garnier.
Beyond her online influence, Amanda has emerged as a passionate advocate for social justice. Her journey from being a political refugee fleeing Havana, Cuba to the United States at the age of five has shaped her activism. She has also partnered with nonprofit organizations that celebrate Latino culture, empower the Latino community, and support asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Upon hearing the news of her inclusion in the "30 Under 30" list, Amanda expressed her gratitude on Instagram, saying, "Thankful to each of you for placing me in this position and to my amazing team for believing in me. This is as much theirs as it is mine! I can't believe that the little girl who immigrated from Cuba is now in this position. Thank you, God, for always being so good."
