A Legacy of Excellence
The Foundation of Excellence
Throughout her distinguished career, Tsi-tsi-ki Félix has built her reputation on fundamental principles that guide both her professional work and personal mission. These core values—integrity, accuracy, transparency, and balance— represent not just what she does, but who she is.
This is the foundation upon which her legacy of excellence continues to grow and inspire others.
A Commitment to Integrity
Throughout her career in journalism, Tsi-tsi-ki has stood firmly by the principle that integrity is non-negotiable. In an industry increasingly driven by ratings and clicks, maintaining ethical standards and journalistic principles has sometimes been challenging—but always essential.
Tsi-tsi-ki views information much like food—what we consume shapes who we become. Just as we seek quality, nutritious food for our physical health, she believes we should demand accurate, balanced information for our mental and societal well-being. When we consume “junk” information, our thinking suffers, leading to poor decisions and outcomes.
Her commitment to integrity has meant asking the tough questions, pursuing stories that matter rather than just what’s trending, and always seeking to present multiple perspectives. It has meant pushing back when interview subjects try to evade questions and digging deeper when surface-level answers aren’t enough.
In Washington, DC, she witnessed firsthand how public figures often present one face on camera and another behind the scenes. This reinforced her belief that media consumers need to be discerning and seek information from diverse sources. Her role has been not just to report news, but to equip audiences with the critical thinking skills to evaluate the information they receive.
This commitment to integrity extends beyond her professional work to all aspects of her life and the guidance she offers others. Tsi-tsi-ki believes that success built on a foundation of honesty and ethical principles is not only more fulfilling but more sustainable.
Career Milestones
Being selected twice as a TEDx speaker has been one of Tsi-tsi-ki’s proudest achievements. These opportunities allowed her to share powerful messages about resilience as an immigrant, the importance of freedom of the press, and the transformative power of information with global audiences.
Breaking barriers as the first solo female anchor for NBC Telemundo Chicago in the nation’s third-largest market represented a significant milestone not just for Tsi-tsi-ki personally, but for Latina representation in broadcasting.
Serving as a national news anchor for Univision and occasionally filling in for Jorge Ramos on the network’s flagship newscast demonstrated the trust placed in her journalistic abilities and allowed her to bring important stories to millions of viewers nationwide.
Hosting “Política Ya,” a political show based in Washington, DC, for a decade provided Tsi-tsi-ki with unparalleled insights into the American political system and allowed her to conduct meaningful interviews with political leaders from diverse perspectives.
Throughout her career, Tsi-tsi-ki has been honored with multiple Emmy Awards and other recognitions for journalistic excellence. While she views these as reflections of the trust placed in her by colleagues and stations rather than personal achievements, they represent the industry’s acknowledgment of her commitment to quality journalism.
The Power of Information
Information is power—this simple truth has been the guiding principle of Tsi-tsi-ki’s career and life’s work. She firmly believes that when people have access to accurate, balanced information, they can make better decisions about everything from politics to personal finances, from health to education.
Her journey as an immigrant taught her that information gaps create opportunity gaps. She has observed that many in the Latino community struggle not because of lack of ability or willingness to work hard, but because they lack access to crucial information about how systems work, what resources are available, and how to navigate complex processes.
Through her reporting, speaking engagements, and now through coaching and workshops, Tsi-tsi-ki has focused on bridging these information gaps. She believes that equipping people with knowledge and critical thinking skills is the most effective form of empowerment.
The digital age has made information more accessible than ever, but it has also created new challenges in terms of quality, reliability, and overwhelm. Part of her work now involves helping people develop media literacy—the ability to evaluate sources, recognize bias, and extract valuable insights from the constant stream of information we all face.
By sharing what she has learned through decades in journalism, Tsi-tsi-ki aims to accelerate others’ success journeys. What took her 20 years might take someone else 10 years or less with the right information and guidance. This is how she believes we create lasting impact across generations.
Mentorship & Community Impact
Beyond her work in broadcasting, Tsi-tsi-ki has found fulfillment in mentoring young journalists and professionals, particularly women and immigrants navigating their career paths. Seeing someone she has mentored achieve their goals or overcome obstacles is as rewarding as any professional accomplishment she has experienced.
Her community involvement has included serving on the board of the American Cancer Society and working with various organizations focused on Latino advancement, women’s empowerment, and immigrant support. Tsi-tsi-ki believes that success is measured not just by what we achieve personally, but by how many others we lift up along the way.
In recent years, she has expanded her focus to include entrepreneurship, having invested in real estate as part of her commitment to creating stability and generational wealth. This experience has given her valuable insights to share with others looking to move beyond living paycheck to paycheck toward true financial independence.
The legacy Tsi-tsi-ki hopes to leave goes beyond what she has reported on screen or the accolades she has received. She wants to be remembered as someone who used her voice and platform to make information accessible to those who needed it most, who championed integrity in an era of misinformation, and who never forgot the responsibility that comes with having a public platform.
