The Leading Ladies of Entertainment is an annual event organized by the Latin Recording Academy, the same body that distributes the Latin Grammy Awards, at which awards are presented to women "excelling in the arts and sciences, and who have made indelible impressions and contributions to the Latin entertainment industry." Award recipients are honored during "Latin Grammy Week", a string of events held prior to the annual Latin Grammy Awards ceremony. The accolade was established in 2017 by the organization to acknowledge the gender gap in the Latin entertainment industry. The awards were first presented to Marcella Araica, Leila Cobo, Erika Ender, Rebeca León, Gabriela Martinez, and Jessica Rodriguez. The event was held twice in 2019, the first as a Mexican edition in June and again during the Latin Grammy Week in November. (Full list...)
