Both Heredia and her husband had parents who raised them in Quechua-speaking households as children.

She collaborated in the establishment of the Peruvian Nationalist Party, which she currently leads. She was considered a potential candidate in the 2016 Peruvian presidential election, but chose not to run.

As of 2017, the Peruvian justice system is investigating her for serious cases of corruption, usurpation of power and money laundering. The funds were allegedly used to finance President Ollanta Humala's election campaign. Along with her husband Ollanta Humala, she was arrested on 13 July 2017 in connection with this scandal, and was ordered to be held for 18 months.
