![]() ![]() I was wildly overcome by this feeling of like, ‘oh my God, I know this is what I’m supposed to be doing.’ And oh, so grateful for that moment. Everybody had on these little green flashing buttons that everyone got, so literally the whole Madison Square Garden, like a sea of little green lights. I remember it’s so crazy because the choir was from my church, but the tour was sponsored by Heineken. Even the idea of performing in Madison Square Garden was insane. I did not think it was going to be possible. And my greatest hope is that it just kicks the door wide open for every young Latina girl to watch me on TV and go, oh my gosh, if she can do it, I can do it. And at the same time, it is such an honor and such a wild accomplishment. It was like damn it took up to 2013 to get us on daytime television. There‘s been some in news coverage, but like again, I literally argued with our publicists and I was like, ’please make sure we fact check this before we go saying this like this can‘t be right.’ And when we finally realized it was right, it was bittersweet. It was shocking to me that for the first time in daytime English channel network television, that I’d be the first. And like people will argue like, ‘but there was Cristina.’ I‘m like, yes, on Spanish TV. I think every time I hear it, it’s bittersweet because in 2013 I never would have thought that I would be the first Latina in daytime. Not while you‘re trying to be somebody else because their doors are gonna open for them. Cause that’s when the doors that are intended to open for you will open. It‘s not going to be a straight line there- have fun, enjoy the journey and always be authentically who you are. ![]() It is possible, I feel like even into your forties and your fifties, you‘re still going to be making your dreams come true. They‘re just being creative on their own, and I love that. I‘m excited that this new generation isn’t just waiting around for someone to be like, ‘I have a script that I put together,’ but that they are actively creating platforms for themselves and actively creating their own. I‘m most excited about seeing this new generation, not wait for roles to be handed to them, but to start writing films and productions and become their own producers of their own things, like that is what I’m excited for. I think that the coolest thing that I’ve noticed is that now we can use these platforms to pave our own lane. I would say that what I’m noticing now is so important, which is especially why I love YouTube and all these new platforms that we have from TikTok to Instagram, is you just have to put yourself out there, number one.
