🌟 Breaking Barriers: Celebrating Liza Colón-Zayas' Historic Emmy Win 🌟 "He told me to write a speech, and I didn't because I didn't think it would be possible. How could I have thought that it would be possible to be in the presence of Meryl Streep, Carol Burnett, Janelle, and Sheryl Lee Ralph." These powerful words, spoken by Liza Colón-Zayas upon winning her first Emmy, hit home for so many of us. Liza made history as the first Latina to win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in The Bear. 💡 Takeaways: 1. Doubt is Universal: Even when standing in the spotlight, it's easy to feel like you don't belong. But moments like Liza's remind us that our worth is not defined by how others have limited us. 2. Representation Matters: Only ten Latinos have won Emmys in 76 years. Liza's win is a beacon of hope and a call to action for all of us to continue breaking down barriers. 3. Show Up Authentically: Liza's vulnerability and authenticity at the Emmys resonate deeply. We all face insecurities, but that doesn't mean we don't deserve to be in the room. Latinas often struggle with self-worth, especially when the odds seem stacked against us. But as Liza showed us, our skills, talents, and tenacity are enough to earn us a seat at any table. Thank you, Liza Colón-Zayas, for your courage, your honesty, and your reminder that we can and should reach for spaces that have historically been out of reach. Your success inspires us all to keep pushing forward. ✨ Let's continue to uplift each other, break those barriers, and create spaces where everyone feels they belong. Our stories are powerful, and it's time they are heard loud and clear! #RepresentationMatters #LatinaPower #Emmys2024 #BreakingBarriers #Inspiration

"Don't you know that every kick is a boost?" <- what Rue McClanahan's (Blanche Devereaux on Golden Girls) mother said after Rue was told she would never work on television. Golden Girls, of course, went on to win numerous awards and continues to play on television 40 years later. What is the lesson from this? One takeaway for me is that someone else's opinion of your capabilities is not prophetic. You CAN be successful regardless of others' opinions. Secondly, rejection and setbacks are an inevitable part of your career journey. Use these setbacks as springboards to take you to greater heights. Lastly, may we all do our best to give more boosts. Hopefully, without the kicks included. You can see the full speech here: https://lnkd.in/gz-bsF9g

This quote strikes deep because it reminds me of how easy it is to fall into the trap of waiting for “the right moment” to start something meaningful or to do what needs to be done right now. I think we all tell ourselves, “Tomorrow, I’ll make that change,” or “Next week, I’ll take that leap,” or we keep leaving today's work for tomorrow, saying, "Let's leave it for today and do it tomorrow." But if we keep piling up these tomorrows, we're left with a series of missed chances, a string of days where we were waiting but never truly living. It’s a reminder to seize the present, to make today matter. Instead of banking on a hypothetical future, it’s about embracing what we can do now, even if it's small steps. Looking back, I don’t want a collection of empty yesterdays. I want memories, achievements, and growth - not a list of things still waiting to be done.
