JACKSON, Tenn. – Elvia Trejo, on-air personality at Jackson’s first Latino media – La Poderosa 105.3 FM WTJK – Grace Media Group – NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM & 93.1 FM – has been selected as the October 2022 Hub City Hero.
Elvia has called Jackson home for the past seven years.
Trejo’s nominator said that she “loves helping and supporting teachers” in Jackson-Madison County as well as “trying to inspire Latino artists to get involved with their art with the Art District downtown.”
Trejo, who was raised in South Louisiana, is currently engaged to her fiancée Nicholas and is the proud mother of three. She is also the owner of ElleTre.
Her show airs 11 a.m. to noon, weekdays.
“I want opportunities that I was able to have here in Jackson for everyone of all backgrounds; all cultures to have,” she said. “I started off at The Local and even before then, I feel that I was able to use so many different resources here in Jackson to become part of this wonderful community.”
Trejo is involved heavily with educators. Her children are part of the Jackson-Madison County School System and she is currently a part of the PTA at the school where her goal is to help them assist with fundraisers and other resources to make their lives easier.
“Right now, we’re doing a popcorn fundraiser so that we can get Christmas presents to our amazing teachers,” said Trejo. “I hope to continue to do that work through the years.”
“Elvia’s drive to support her local community – whether it’s small businesses or our local educators and students – is a testament to what it means to be a hero,” said Mayor Scott Conger. “Her ‘don’t wait, start now’ mentality should be an inspiration to all who are looking to help make their community better.”
“Hub City Heroes” selflessly and steadily give of their time and talent to improve the lives of others in the community. Recognition as a hero is one small way to thank these public servants for their efforts and it gives honorees the opportunity to raise awareness for causes that are important to them.”
