Having pride in where you come from is a beautiful thing, because as you travel to other parts of the world, you get to share that pride with others in a way that is not always represented in the media. And when you are a Latino celebrity with an incredible reach who is proud of your heritage, you become a sort of cultural ambassador. Take Colombian celebrities who have made it big in the US. They get to represent Colombia and share its rich cultural history, and we love it because there are some people out here that still don't associate Colombia with anything other than Pablo Escobar, and ENOUGH already.
