ABOUT THE PANEL:
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, The One Club for Creativity aimed to amplify Hispanic voices, stories, and perspectives by bringing awareness to the diversity and evolving communities they represent.
Watch as we hear from four Creative leaders—Rafael Esquer, Daniel Lobatón, Isabel Sierra Gómez de León, and Ariana Stolarz—to learn how their Hispanic heritage has helped shape their work and professional development.

RELATED FROM THE ONE CLUB:
Our very own One Show Director, Gabriela Mirensky, speaks about Hispanics within the advertising industry and beyond, asking "Do outdated clichés persist because, as a community, we haven’t manifested that we no longer identify with them? If this is the case, it is up to us to change the way we are perceived, portrayed, and addressed."
