Estrella (Star) Crawford, Bank of America Senior Vice President and Market Executive — Detroit, was among three exceptional Latinas who were presented with an Adelitas Award at the Mana de Metro Detroit’s Annual Brindis Luncheon at the Lincoln Park Manor.
The Adelitas Award honors extraordinary women who go beyond daily responsibilities to promote and support the Latino community and who give of themselves through volunteerism, self-sacrifice, and activism.
In addition to Crawford, the award was presented to Dr. Vanessa Reynolds, Admissions Counselor at Wayne State University, and Gabriela Santiago Romero, Councilmember for the City of Detroit. They were each honored for their hard work and commitment to improving the lives of Latinx residents in metro Detroit.
Mana de Metro Detroit is the local chapter of MANA, a national Latina organization whose mission is to empower Latinas and create a better quality of life for all Latinos through education, leadership development and advocacy.
Crawford, who was part of the 2019 class of Michigan Chronicle’s Women of Excellence, joined Bank of America in 2004. Her leadership roles include serving on the Bank’s Michigan Employee Resource Groups. She is active in the community, including mentoring students at the Wayne State University Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies and serving on the Board of Directors for the nonprofit organization SER Metro.
