When he was on stage, he called for continued growth in representation in the entertainment industry.
He was accepting the Equity in Entertainment award.
“Equity and representation means ensuring that women, regardless of their background, have equal opportunities to share their stories and showcase their talents,” she began.
“It’s about moving from tokenism to true inclusion, creating spaces where women of all races, sexual orientations and abilities are (welcome).”
She remembered being told it was surprising that a Latina girl was starring in Wizards of Waverly Place.
“I wasn’t really thinking about the importance of representation or the gravity of what those words meant,” Gomez recalled.
“But I knew he was very grateful and wanted to do the best he could to live up to it, in whatever form that might be.”
She said young girls need to see themselves as heroes because that inspires them.

During her award acceptance speech, Benny Blanco’s girlfriend said it was important for the public to see diverse actresses as she promised to ‘open doors’ to more Latinos.
“We are now seeing more authentic and powerful stories about who we are, where we come from and what we are capable of achieving,” he continued. “I’m sure we can all agree that while we are getting there, we are not there yet.”
Gómez then spoke with Emilia Pérez, who has several Hispanic women: “Our voices are not only heard but represented with sincerity.”
And it creates opportunities for people to see themselves.
“When we give people the platform to tell their stories, we not only deepen our understanding of each other, we open doors to what is possible,” Gomez said.
“That’s why I’ve been so committed to my advocacy, from mental health, to lupus awareness, to encouraging young people to embrace the strength that comes from being vulnerable and sharing their story.”
She concluded: “Together we can break down barriers, amplify women’s voices and create a future where everyone’s stories are told.”

Shannon introduced Selena, noting that she not only changed the entertainment landscape but also used her voice to “change the world for the better.”
“Yes, she is an incredibly talented actress, a multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated artist and a history-making producer,” Shannon said.
‘But more than that, someone who truly cares about the people and the world around her. Use your platform to make a real and lasting impact.”
He mentioned Selena’s dedication to mental health, as well as lupus research, UNICEF and Make-A-Wish.
“Her advocacy work has transcended the entertainment world as she uses her voice to speak out for those who need it most,” Shannon continued.
‘She is a role model, not only for her immense talent and success, but for the way she uses her influence to empower others. “She challenges the status quo and creates a more inclusive and compassionate world for all.”
This comes after Gomez said he doesn’t “need anyone’s approval.”
The siren stars alongside Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofía Gascón in the musical comedy film ‘Emilia Pérez’ and Selena’s performance has been widely praised by fans.
When asked if the reaction had been overwhelming, the brunette beauty told CBS Sunday Morning: “Sure. Maybe… It’s not that I really need anyone’s approval. I think I’m really okay with where I am and who I am. .And I’m glad I finally got there.’

They take the time. time to ask everyone they meet how their day was. And on top of that they think about everything.
