Actor

"There is so much strength in the Latinx community and untapped power, stories and talent that are beyond ready for the chance to be heard. When it comes to those who are holding decision makers accountable, I honor the NHMC and their work. That is why I am thrilled to be part of their first ever Visionary Alliance, alongside my colleagues as we fight to fully ignite and unite the spectrum of voices of underrepresented communities. I wholeheartedly believe that as we band together in a deep embrace of the full spectrum of our communities , we will start to see a true balance in the entertainment industry."
