There’s a gap between how Latinos are often portrayed and who we actually are. Outdated stereotypes still shape the way people see us, leaving out the real stories of our creativity, hard work, and impact in every part of society. This disconnect creates confusion and misinformation, especially when decisions are made based on assumptions instead of facts. It's time to elevate the real narrative—one that reflects the diversity, drive, and everyday contributions of Latinos across the country.
