Rafael Fernandez, Jr. is a Puerto Rican/Dominican Digital Creator, Host of the Latin Babbler Show, and the Founder of Wafi Media.

As a self-taught web designer, graphic designer, and social media manager his various skills helped in the development of websites for large corporations such as True Trading Group, Vivos, Lisc Bay Area, and more. His 20 years of experience in branding and design are at the forefront of what you see in the Wafi Media brand and its networks.

Having little to no experience as a host, Rafael led the way joined by members of his family and friends to start The Latin Babbler Show, a Top 2% globally recognized podcast which provides its audience with a multimedia experience each week spotlighting top celebrity and executive interviews, culture, the arts, food, and current events. In such a short time the show has amassed over 23,000 thousand audio downloads and 32,000 YouTube views.

Inspired by the podcast and seeing the lack of representation in media and arts, Rafael decided to create Wafi Media, one of the fastest-growing Latino-owned, full-service digital media companies focused on showcasing the Latino community through a mixture of entertainment news, representation, and discussions. Wafi Media has had the privilege of partnering with brands, educational institutions, festivals, and talent managers across the United States.
