YouTube Description
as posted by the channelChristy Haubegger of Los Angeles launched Latina magazine in 1996, because she said she never saw herself or other Latinas represented in American media.
“The magazine’s readership grew to the millions because people like me were starving to see themselves,” said Haubegger, now executive vice president of communications and chief inclusion officer at WarnerMedia.
Inspired by the success of her magazine, Haubegger moved into entertainment, where she seized an opportunity to have a greater impact, producing the films “Chasing Papi” and “Spanglish.”
“Through my story, I want to convey that representation matters. Specifically, representation in media and entertainment because there are billions of people who may never visit the U.S. but will likely watch our films and TV shows,” she said.
“We all look for reflections of ourselves in media, but we also look for ourselves at work and in our communities. That reflection is how we know we matter.”
