Beatriz Limón

Beatriz Limón is a bilingual journalist at Arizona Luminaria, a nonprofit news organization serving Latino and Spanish-speaking communities in Arizona, where she covers social equity, education, immigration, and community health. She is also a contributor to palabra., the National Association of Hispanic Journalists' digital news platform. A former Arizona and New Mexico correspondent for Agencia EFE, the world's largest Spanish- language newswire, she previously reported and edited for La Voz at The Arizona Republic and served as an editor and investigative journalist for the leading Mexican newspapers La Crónica and Frontera. Her reporting has earned multiple Arizona Press Club awards, and her documentary photography has been recognized by the Photographic Society of America. A Solutions Journalism Network Labor Cohort fellow, she has led bilingual solutions journalism workshops at the University of Arizona and Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. Limón holds a degree in communication sciences from the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California. Limón's reporting project for the Impact Fund examines how federal food policy intersects with tribal sovereignty and community health. For generations, Native families on Arizona reservations have received government-selected food boxes through federal nutrition programs, with little say over what foods they receive. Her reporting explores a provision in the 2026 farm bill that would allow tribal organizations to purchase their own food—including culturally significant foods—and investigates whether the policy change goes far enough to address diet-related health disparities, such as diabetes, that it is intended to help solve.
