Cathy Areu is a respected journalist, media commentator, and founder of Catalina magazine, known for championing women’s and Latino voices.

She’s the survivor of domestic abuse and a corrupt family court system, which led to two wrongful arrests, one making global headlines. She quietly won her cases and rebuilt her life.

Today, she’s a fierce advocate for women’s rights and family court reform, fighting so no family endures the injustice she faced.
