Be Yourself, Tell Your Story

Hispanic Heritage Month Highlight

This episode celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month with two incredible guests: Jackie Hernández (@jackiehdzm), a hair and beauty creator, and Diego León (@dandyinthebronx), a lifestyle influencer.

Together, they open up about the value of celebrating who you are and where you come from in a world that often rewards sameness — sharing how embracing their identities and telling their authentic stories became the foundation of their success. They also talk about how brands can and should lean into their own version of this, through storytelling–bringing to light the people, places, values and communities behind the brand.

From representation and community to self-doubt and growth, this inspiring conversation reminds us that your story is your strength — and the most powerful thing you can do online is be real.
