The Media, Culture, and Community of Latinx
What is LatinX as it relates to personal identification, media perception and creative expression? Some like the term, some don’t and others pay it no mind. Do we need another term? As a culture, do we let these terms reflect the images and stories we tell any differently. A one on one discussion with Ben O’Dell partner of 3pas Studios moderated by Jack Rico.

Small Screen to Big Dreams
How have creatives successfully transitioned from making short form independent content to long form content that brands will purchase.

Influence & Responsibility
How can creatives with great influence uplift communities with content and brand partnerships? In social media, everyone has a title, such as fitness influencer, beauty boss, advice expert, fashion influencer, weight expert..etc. But with influence comes responsibility. As body shaming, self esteem, and sense of self becomes just as clear on social media, we’d like to have an open discussion with lifestyle influencers on how you can engage for the good of people and build stronger influence with lifestyle brands.
