South San Francisco Conference Center: 255 S Airport Blvd South San Francisco, CA 94080
Join us for the Chicana Latina Foundation’s (CLF) Annual Awards Dinner on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the South San Francisco Conference Center.
This year’s theme centers on the core of what CLF strives to do: create leaders con conciencia. Every year, CLF awardees embark on a journey to unravel their narratives and embrace their authentic selves. We celebrate their commitment to each other in upholding our ancestral culture and engaging in the fight for equity and social justice. Together, we strive to shape our future.

Trenza Ancestral explores both the similarities and differences we share with ancestors who walked a similar path to our own. The distant relative is depicted walking through a tough desert terrain, with a storm on the horizon, symbolizing the struggles she must endure as she continues through life. The woman in the present day seems unburdened by her surroundings and walks with confidence and ease through the city.
