Edelman has spent the span of her twenty-five year career dedicated to engendering social change through global mobilization and marketing. She’s worked to maximize her impact by raising both awareness and funds for various humanitarian issues at global organizations, including the United Nations, the United Nations Refugee Agency, UNICEF, and the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.
Most recently, she founded the We Are All Human Foundation, a New York City-based non-profit focused on advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion across the nation. One of its primary 2023 initiatives is Hispanic Star, a program devoted to furthering the careers of Hispanics and Latinos throughout the U.S., particularly those of Latina women whose experiences are too often undervalued and overlooked. As part of Hispanic Star, she’s released a series of children’s books detailing the accomplishments of major Latino figures including Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, astronaut Ellen Ochoa, and baseball player Roberto Clemente. She has also advocated for greater Latina recognition through op-eds and other journalism. “[Latinas] are the incredible, invisible economic powerhouse—the secret sauce of extraordinary future growth,” she wrote in an April op-ed for MSNBC. “As a Latina, we represent an untapped treasure with exponential potential.”
