Latinas Unidas is proud to present the emcees for this year’s S.T.A.R. Awards — Reconocimiento Special Edition: the talented, charismatic, and community-driven cousins Jessica Del Valle and Anabelle Del Valle, affectionately known as “Las Chicas Del Valle.”

For the first time, these two talented cousins will share the stage as co-emcees, bringing their warmth, charisma, and deep community roots to one of our most meaningful celebrations of the year.

Anabelle Del Valle: A Voice for Community & Connection

Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Anabelle Del Valle began her journey in the United States in the early 2000s and has since built a remarkable career grounded in service, communication, and community empowerment. Her academic path took her from Monroe Community College, where she studied Human Services, to SUNY Brockport, where she expanded her studies into Hispanic Literature.

Professionally, Anabelle has spent more than a decade at PathStone Corporation, where she currently serves as the Director of Resident Services. In this role, she develops programming that supports residents' well-being while fostering strong community engagement, work that reflects her lifelong commitment to uplifting others.

Anabelle is also a familiar voice on Rochester radio. She spent four years hosting En Tiempo Real on Power 97.1 FM and continues to collaborate with the station today. Her extensive volunteer work as an emcee, including cultural events, pageants, concerts, and community celebrations, showcases her versatility, poise, and passion for communication. Her voice-over work further expands her presence as a vibrant storyteller and connector in our community.

Jessica Del Valle: A Leader in Communications & Cultural Uplift

Jessica Del Valle is a dynamic communicator, proud Latina, and community builder known for her authenticity, creativity, and leadership. A graduate of SUNY Brockport with a degree in Communication, Media, and Theatre, Jessica has worked with major global brands, including JP Morgan, Disney, and Verizon, gaining expertise in marketing, communications, branding, and public relations.

After traveling and living abroad, Jessica returned to Rochester to continue her commitment to community empowerment. She first joined the Ibero-American Development Corporation as Site Manager of the International Plaza, and now serves as the Marketing and Development Manager for the Ibero-American Action League. In this role, she leads fundraising, donor relations, and signature events that uplift and empower the Latino community.

Jessica also brings a strong media presence. Her volunteer work includes En Tiempo Real, El Coqueteo de las Favoritas, and the En el Medio Media Show on Poder 97.1 FM. Beyond media, she serves as a founding member of both the HSCD and the Dominican Day Steering Committee, helping elevate Dominican culture in Rochester.

Her natural ability to bring people together shines in everything she does, and will undoubtedly shine on stage at the S.T.A.R. Awards.

A Dynamic Duo Ready to Shine

Together, Las Chicas Del Valle bring a blend of professionalism, authenticity, and cultural pride. Their shared passion for storytelling, community service, and elevating Latino voices makes them the perfect hosts for a celebration that honors leadership, impact, and unity.

We are truly thrilled to welcome Jessica and Anabelle Del Valle as the emcees of the S.T.A.R. Awards 2025 — Reconocimiento Special Edition. Their presence promises a memorable afternoon filled with energy, heart, and inspiration.
