Media Trailblazer: Lilia Fifield’s Multi‑Faceted Journey

Basic Information

Early Life & Background

Lilia Dorotea Fifield Sánchez was born on August 19, 1989 in Tijuana, Mexico. Her father was Lewis E. Fifield, a U.S. Air Force member who died in 2009. Her mother, whose name is not public, studied public administration in graduate school. Soon after she was born, her family moved across the border. She grew up with both American and Mexican cultures. Her father’s military service led the family to move often. She spent her childhood between communities in California and Baja California. At eight years old, she showed her on‑air skills by co‑hosting San Diego’s La Nueva and K‑LUV morning radio shows. This early work showed her interest in broadcasting and talking to the public.

Family & Personal Relationships

Lilia has a close family, but she keeps her private life mostly out of the public eye. She is very close to her two younger sisters, and she often features them on social media. Their names are not made public. Her partner, Ruben Adir, who is of Indian descent, has been with her for several years. They often share travel posts from three continents. Even though she has a high‑profile career, Lilia faced private challenges: she had two miscarriages in 2017 and 2018. This made her see a need for better support for women dealing with pregnancy loss. Because of this, she started a holistic wellness initiative in Barrio Logan, San Diego. It offers miscarriage support groups and energy‑healing workshops under the name Saludable Latina.
