Sept. 15th-Oct. 15th is National Hispanic Heritage Month! On Tuesdays and Thursdays during this time period we will look at the lives of Hispanic Americans that made their mark in American and/or World History. Here is our next Honoree:
Jennifer Lopez
She may have started out as Jenny from the Block, but J.Lo has become a multi-hyphenate entertainment phenom, and she helped female celebrities break out of the boxes that Hollywood had always put them in. Lopez has been awarded many high honors over the years, including multiple American Music Awards, ALMA Awards, and Golden Globes. In 2020, Lopez wowed audiences with a fiery performance at the Super Bowl, sharing the stage with fellow Latina performer, Shakira. She has also become an advocate for several causes, winning an Amnesty for Artists award for her work to bring awareness to femicide in Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua, Mexico.
MULTITALENTED ENTERTAINER AND PRODUCER, JENNIFER LOPEZ, AN HISPANIC AMERICAN THAT WE HONOR TODAY FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH.
