Latin Business Today Spotlights Advisory Board Member Giselle Fernandez
Giselle Fernandez’s insights and expertise has already made an impact on Latin Business Today.
Latin Business Today proudly announced earlier in the year that national television news anchor and 5-time Emmy award winning journalist, Giselle Fernandez had joined our advisory board. Her list of credentials even more esteemed as producer, filmmaker, and Latin media marketing entrepreneur. Bringing her unique blend of talents and style to our digital publication, I was thrilled to be able to interview this multi-talented, successful and ambitious Latina about the career path she’s taken, what she truly believes in today, and what gives her the drive and determination to take some of the chances she has in life.Milken Global Conference panel on how Latinas are driving America’s economic growth
I also question her about the challenges she has come across as a journalist in what many consider to not necessarily be a “woman’s” field of work. She says that she has experienced moments like this herself but has blown right past them. She says that those days of discrimination are over whether it’s gender or ethnicity and she will not put up with one ounce of discrimination. “Do not put yourself in positions where that is the dynamic. Know your worth. Ditch false humility and be proud of who you are. Identify your dream, your goal, your mission and then every day take steps toward that dream. Do not give up on yourself, do not doubt yourself. Every single person has insecurities and at one time or another fails to recognize their own potential and possible greatness. Do not be one of these people. There is no grace in not believing in yourself. Trust me it is a waste of time. Be bold and believe” said Fernandez.If you haven’t already seen it, please see her incredible interview with musical living legend, Carlos Santana on Latin Business Today.

We need to be inspired. I certainly agree with Fernandez that we can all learn something from the stories of these larger than life personalities that have experienced periods of greatness and also moments of low in their careers. From Carlos Santana’s rise from a poor Mexican boy to guitar legend and his story of finding his faith, to Michael Milken’s incredible philanthropic reinvention of himself after his scandalous indictment for racketeering and securities fraud in 1989, to the incredible skyrocketing business of the Unanue brothers’ and their Goya brand, and Vicente Fox who in his post presidency of Mexico is still carrying on his mandate of a “better future today” in Mexico and the U.S.—these are just some of the incredible people she has had the opportunity to interview. We are thrilled to have such a strong minded and talented Latina joining our advisory board and I especially look forward to sharing more of Fernandez’ achievements, interviews and thoughts with our audience.
