#InspiringLatinos

Ariana DeBose grew up interested in comedy, dancing and singing and left school to pursue her passions. After participating on “So You Think You Can Dance”, she went on to act in “Bring It On: The Musical” on Broadway. Other shows she has been seen in are Motown The Musical , Hamilton or A Bronx Tale.

Her career really started to take off when she was in “Hamilton”, available on Disney+ with Lin-Manuel Miranda as the hero. After that, DeBose is asked by Steven Spiedlberg to join the cast of “West Side Story”, a new film adaptation of the Broadway classic. She plays Anita, which earned her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She was also named Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2022.

“Being a Latin and black woman my interpretation of Anita in a natural way was going to be different, because we have lived different stories. And I was excited to be able to offer that to her”, explains the interpreter Ana DeBose, who gets into Anita’s shoes. “But it is also very present in Spielberg’s film, more than in the original, how he portrays that feeling of wanting to fit in that every immigrant has when trying to build their own story in a new country.”

#InspiringLatinos

@gabrielboric is unlike any president that Chile has seen before. He is only 35, which makes him the youngest president winning the most votes in their presidential election history. He also never finished his law degree. He was one exam away when he was swept up into student activism and politics.

Protesters took to the streets in 2011 calling for better public education. Boric answered the call and won the election to be the president of the University of Chile's student federation. This jumpstarted him to bid for congress and he became one in four of the student protest leaders to enter Congress in 2014.

The night that he won the primaries, Boric said “If Chile was the birthplace of neoliberalism, it will also be its grave!” He has a big mission ahead of him to finish a new constitution and combat a divided polity and a post-pandemic economy. His approach combines fiscal responsibility with a more competitive economy, better social protections and working conditions, social equality and protecting the environment.

Boric is included in Time’s 100 Most Influential People of 2022.

#inspiringlatinos

Lin-Manuel Miranda grew up in New York City. When Miranda was just 7 years old, his Puerto Rican parents took him to see “Les Miserables” which started his interest in musicals.

As he matured, his music taste opened to R&B and to Hip Hop but his love for musical theater stayed strong. He attended Wesleyan College where he merely participated in musical theater. During his sophomore year, in 1999, he was writing his own musical titled, “In the Heights”. This show was then added to Wesleyan’s student theater company, Second Stage, and took to the stage in 2000.

“In the Heights” combines hip hop with salsa and Latin sounds. The show takes place in Manhattan, in Washington Heights, which is a hispanic community near where Miranda grew up. The musical took off and made it’s Broadway appearance in 2008. The show had positive reviews and noted Miranda’s skilfully chosen lyrics. The show won four Tonys and ended its run in 2011. By then, Miranda was already working on the now popular Hamilton.

One of the major draws for Hamilton is the diverse cast. Being born to immigrant parents, Miranda makes sure his productions focus on diversity rather than historical accuracy. But the actors he chose, embody the spirit of the founding fathers through hip hop.

Most recently, all eight songs Miranda wrote for the new Disney movie, “Encanto” made the Billboard top 100. “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” has ranked No. 1 for a Disney song. He credits the soundtrack’s success to the fact that all eight songs have different sounds and embodies each character.

Miranda even makes time to advocate for Puerto Rico. In response to hurricane Maria in 2017, he wrote “Almost Like Praying” which topped iTunes charts in 17 countries. Miranda donated all the proceeds to the hurricane relief.
