the Sacramento Green Team

Hugo Mata was born and raised in the state of Jalisco, Mexico and immigrated to California at the age of 16. He is fully bilingual and bicultural which provides a great asset when communicating with the Latino community living in the United States. He is a graduate of San Francisco State University and established his own consulting company (Soluna Outreach Solutions) in 2017 after having worked with C2 Alternative Services for more than fifteen years.

Soluna Outreach Solutions was formed to expand education and outreach across the Spanish-speaking community, with a primary focus on conservation, sanitation and health. Soluna now supports LatinX communities and LatinX-serving companies in twenty counties, including Marin County. While building his own business, Hugo helped launch a Facebook Live series, “Poder de Saber” (the Power of Knowledge), providing technical support to LatinX-owned small businesses. The series now has more than 2,000 followers and a live broadcast three days a week, expanding the topics to include community, environment, local economy, education and many others.

Hugo also produces and hosts “Nuestra Tierra” (Our Earth), a one-hour radio show that serves as a resource hub that provides a voice to different environmental topics to Spanish-language audiences in Sonoma County and surrounding areas where KBBF’s signal is broadcasted. He is also a frequent guest on Spanish commercial stations in the Bay Area.
