Break the box and rebuild it if you have to! Trailblazing TV Star Gilberto Pinela never wanted to be the person that everybody wanted to come to as 'the resident Latina" or 'the media person'. He's all about giving the opportunity for new generations to come.

[WLHA 009]: We Live Here Auténtico! | Gilberto Pinela |
A Star Lighting the Way for More Representation, Opportunity, Communication and Access

What does living Auténtico mean to you, Gilberto?

Be your 150 percent self in every situation that you're in. When you walk into the room, let people know that you're there, but that you're there because you are being authentic to yourself. So that means that your confidence level is high. That means that not being cocky. Because that's a different story. But it means that you are present as your legit self.
