Latino Times. We are here at nhm C's Impact Awards Gala

I'm incredibly honored and thrilled to be here when you're in
00:15
a room like this,
00:16
this Latinx Excellence. It's so much fun.
00:19
Everybody's here. I feel so shy,
00:21
shy. One of the funniest cats out there.
00:23
I know. I know.
00:27
I love this Bromance but let's not forget how special tonight is
00:31
to be able to sit together with people that look like us
00:35
I heard Jenny and Alejo are gonna be there.
00:37
I love y'all. I appreciate it.
00:39
I appreciate it. I,
00:40
you do you oh Yeah,
00:44
we do a lot of cheese man celebrating an industry,
00:47
an artistry where we deserve to be in front of and behind
00:52
the camera. What's a Latino dish that you feel is overrated
00:55
or you don't really like?
00:58
Oh wow. Wrong question.
01:00
I don't like beans.
01:09
Have you come back home after a party at 4 a.m. Quesadilla
01:13
is not just cheese.
01:14
It's el queso la tortilla.
01:17
Not a big fan of tamales as a kid.
01:21
I saw that Leon and I kind of like so I've never
01:24
been a Leon lover.
01:26
Oh That's the one I don't like it at all.
01:30
Who are you excited to see tonight?
01:32
First of all, I didn't know that Harve Guillen was going
01:34
to be here. I'm a massive fan.
01:37
We have been representing the community and like taking steps and strives
01:40
in the right direction.
01:41
And Feder Alvarez too,
01:43
such an incredible director of horror.
01:45
It just always feels like home to,
01:47
to find fellow Hispanics.
01:49
I feel that in a strange way tonight's celebration is for the
01:54
Latino and that makes me very proud as a horror lover.
01:58
Who are you most excited to see at tonight's event?
02:01
Isa Isa Lopez. She's amazing and she never ever quits.
02:05
So yeah, she's Mexican.
02:07
I am so happy to present the NH MC Trailblazer Impact Award
02:11
to someone. I am so proud to call my friend Isa
02:14
Lopez. True Detective is so successful and she kicked butt.
02:18
The word that the NH MC is doing is key.
02:22
Not only that it happens but that when it happens,
02:25
we come together and we shout and we dance and we drink
02:29
Mezcal because it has to keep on happening.
02:31
People that do the hard work to make these organizations fight for
02:36
us. I'm excited to see that more than a movie star
02:39
Latinos of culture and it's so big and so rich.
02:41
It cannot be contained in a box.
02:43
We're here to show up and we do it with style we
02:45
actually need is just more of us together.
02:49
We're stronger. And that's really my motto.
02:51
Be a force for good,
02:52
having a positive impact on each community.
02:56
It's an after party.
02:56
What's a song for the party?
02:58
That's a must. That's right.
03:03
Oh I love hard Merengue songs that make no sense.
03:16
Like Lavaca. Hey,
