Absolutely!

It is time to share our stories AHORA!

Per the video, if you or someone that you know is a “Latino/a Doing Their Thing“, submit your or their bio to us ASAP!

A Latino Doing Their Thing is someone that has gone above and beyond to create the opportunity to put themselves in a positive light and serve as a role model-type figure for other Latinos to look up to.

Examples of a Latino Doing Their Thing:

* A Doctor who was born and raised in the projects of  “El Barrio” on welfare and has had an amazing story in between.

* A Social Worker who has dedicated their life and profession to help a community of individuals in need.

* A successful business owner who has worked from the ground up, has faced adversity and has survived.

* A poet who dedicated his or her words to help inspire the youth.

* A musician who uses music as a channel to voice political concerns to inspire a group.

* etc…

Non-Examples of Latinos Doing Their Thing

* A person looking for a cheap form of advertising to sell a product and or service to anyone.

* A person who is looking for a way to put themselves in the spotlight for the mere possibility for fame and/or attention.

* … You get the point.

We want positive, uplifting and motivational stories that do not have limitations to a definition of “success”.

We want to be able to tell these stories from OUR perspective.

This is a great opportunity to showcase those who deserve it. We ask that you please spread the word, by updating your Facebook status’, Retweeting, and/or blogs & vlogs about this initiative.

Our team will also be identifying those of who we have seen are avid supporters of the Latino community and have been active on Being Latino — So be on the lookout, we’re watching to see who is doing what and supporters will be recognized!

We look forward to hearing YOUR story.
