SembraMedia: Dedicated to supporting digital media entrepreneurs

Janine launched SembraMedia in 2015 to help independent online media entrepreneurs who publish content in Spanish to become more sustainable and successful.

The nonprofit project is born out of her work over the last decade as a teacher and consultant with media companies and entrepreneurs. As the executive director, she manages a growing team from more than a dozen countries in Latin America and Spain who are researching digital media projects, building an online directory, and developing a variety of training programs and support services.
