Sylvia Salazar (she/her) is a Colombian-born computer engineer turned political creator and activist who founded Tono Latino, a progressive digital platform dedicated to making U.S. politics accessible, engaging, and culturally resonant for Latino audiences. After nearly 12 years in the tech industry - where she built products and led teams - Sylvia shifted her career toward civic engagement, motivated by a belief that information should empower, not alienate, diverse communities.

Through bilingual content on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X, Sylvia breaks down complex political issues, public policy, and civic processes into clear, relatable narratives that resonate with everyday people. From explaining how government works to highlighting why voter participation matters, her work bridges language and cultural barriers, helping thousands of Latinos feel more confident in participating in the political process.

Her platform, Tono Latino, combines storytelling with facts, cultural touchpoints, and actionable insights - whether she’s unpacking the implications of a new bill, explaining elections in digestible terms, or spotlighting community leaders making change happen. Sylvia’s approach isn’t just about explaining politics; it’s about inviting people into it.

Sylvia’s content is rooted in accessibility, empathy, and impact. She has been featured in progressive media conversations about digital outreach, civic learning, and representation, and she frequently partners with organizations focused on voter education and community empowerment.
