Community Impact in 2023
Celebrating
Culture
with iliana Rose at Más Salsa
"I'm so grateful to know that Hispanic culture is alive in Greenville!"
Culture is the lifeblood of our communities, and the Hispanic Alliance celebrates the rich and diverse cultural heritage of every individual we serve. We believe that diversity is our strength, a vibrant tapestry that paints a more colorful future for all.
In September, we hosted the first ever Más Salsa – a collaborative initiative, featuring the music talents of the iliana Rose Cuban Jazz Band, that transcends cultures to become a community celebration. Más Salsa fosters unity and understanding.
“Más Salsa was such a beautiful night,” Iliana recalls, painting a vivid picture of a community coming together through music, dance, and cultural exchange.
The event, fueled by the Hispanic Alliance’s commitment to fostering cultural connections, goes beyond mere entertainment—it’s a testament to the transformative power of cultural celebration.

Serving
Relentlessly
with Jessica Wallace
"The way that we have come together as a community — it's incredible!"
Jessica Wallace, the chair of the Legal Team of the Hispanic Alliance is a shining example of this work. Having joined the Legal Team as a volunteer in 2013, Jessica is a steady presence of leadership and compassion.
While she helps individuals navigate their journeys of immigration, Jessica drives collaboration among legal experts in Greenville County, which in turn forges equality and inclusion for those new to South Carolina.
Over many years of service, she has built trust with our community and is a champion for the Hispanic Alliance cause – putting the needs of individuals first – always.
In the spirit of Prosperando Juntos, we stand united for a brighter tomorrow, where the collective commitment to prosperity, culture, and transformation improves the quality of life for every South Carolinian.
