Hispanic Heritage Month has been celebrated over the last five decades and it feels as if this is the only month when we’re celebrating our accomplishments. Although Hispanic Heritage Month has passed, we’ve decided to continue celebrating. We’ve launched our first Felix Magazine Edición Especial Español featuring public figures in arts and entertainment, tech, music, business, sports, and science who are making a social impact in the world. We will publish these issues every year to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month and other major cultural events. Our cover stars are prolific entertainers that you’ll recognize. I’m proud of our Ricardo Montalban cover and our collaboration with Nosotros. An organization founded by Ricardo Montalban in 1970 that has opened many opportunities for Latinos in Hollywood. We’re also featuring Paula Garcés, Christopher Rivas, Mario López, and Luis Guzmán. As a publication, we’ll continue to produce high-quality covers and segments covering every black and brown business and public figure. It is truly up to us – journalists, publishers, actors, directors, showrunners, corporate CEOs, and small business owners. We control our stories and destiny by not competing against each other, but by working together. By being of service, we can enhance each other’s lives one by one. The recent release of Marvel starring Tenoch Huerta is the perfect example of what the Latinx community brings to the table. We’re still the least hired in Hollywood, yet we’re the largest consumer.
I hope you enjoy this issue as much as I loved working on it!
