Born and raised in Bolivia, Carmen “Piña” Pozo developed a passion for sports at a young age. When she was 11 years old, she began participating in track & field and volleyball. Every day she was either practicing or competing as a part of her city’s teams, and through both sports developed valuable life skills, such as work ethic, discipline, and responsibility.

After competing throughout her youth, Piña knew she wanted to pursue a career in the sports sector. Aware of the challenges that lay ahead in a sector dominated by men, Piña set out on a trailblazing journey. With a positive and determined outlook, she utilized the skills she had gained as an athlete to become the first female sports journalist in Bolivia.

Piña worked on different TV programs until she decided to create her very own, Las Super Poderosas (The Super Powerful), which gave voice to all athletes, not only the most well-known, and was the first and only TV program of its kind in Bolivia. Las Super Poderosas was a success, airing for nearly five years, giving sports organizations access to learn about aspiring athletes and help them advance their careers. After the program ended, Piña started a sports magazine of the same name with similar ideas and values, writing articles about Bolivian athletes. The magazine’s coverage over the past five years has established Piña as one of the most knowledgeable sports journalists in Bolivia, earning her the title, “Amateur Sports Queen.”
