Hello dear CLLI community and beyond! We are excited to share with you a glimpse of the incredible journey of renewal we have undertaken at the Christian Latina Leadership Institute.
CLLI Rebranding
Almost two decades ago, we took our initial steps as an organization using a logo that has sustained us during our years of meaningful growth. And now, we are ready for a new beginning and complete transformation of our marketing and branding efforts. We recently introduced our new logo and our updated website, which we worked on over the last two years. They symbolize a rebirth of CLLI filled with continued inspiration and growth.
Inspiration Behind CLLI’s New Logo Design
Every detail of our marketing and branding effort has been carefully considered, and was guided by our mission and vision.
CLLI Mission: To provide an academic seed-bed for the development of Christian women leaders from a Latina perspective.
CLLI Vision: Empowered women in leadership impacting the world from a Christian perspective.
This logo goes beyond being a beautiful image; it reflects our commitment to the personal, professional, and spiritual development of Latina women. This reminds me of the words of Scripture:
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” (Proverbs 31:25)
Celebrating Our History and Looking Proudly to the Future
The new logo reflects not only the history and evolution of CLLI; but also, the connection we all share as Christian Latina leaders. The curved lines and warm colors of our new logo are visual embraces symbolizing our strength and resilience. From spiritual and personal growth to ministerial and professional development, our logo now encapsulates our goal to empower women in every facet of their lives. This leads me to reflect once more on the book of Proverbs:
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” (Proverbs 31:26)
In CLLI, Every Woman is a Potential Leader!
We cultivate leadership with the firm belief that every woman can excel as a leader in her family, church, ministry, profession or community. We are all in a process of development. Remember, the journey is as valuable as the result. Studying, growing, and preparing lead us to inspire and lead with confidence in each phase of our development.
In every step of the logo renewal, we acknowledged and reaffirmed that God led each phase. We encourage you to join our CLLI mission and vision, and to share our blog and testimonies. With your support, together we will build a path toward an even deeper impact.
I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this project, finding joy in the certainty that God has used our abilities to reveal Himself to the women we serve. May they, in their journey towards improvement, empowerment, and service, witness the presence of God through these efforts.

The Institute is supported by a team of dedicated women who donate their time and effort for the Lord. But we want you to be part of it too. We invite you to follow us on social media, share the blog, and join this exciting chapter of renewal and empowerment at CLLI.
