Hispanic Heritage Awards

ANNIE: It's so amazing and beautiful to be here with you guys tonight.

What an honor.

Thank you for letting me be your host, for gracing the stage.

I'm so proud to be Latina, to be Chicana, to be Mexican.

We come from across the globe, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, El Salvador, Argentina, right, Cuba, Colombia, but what's special is our Latinidad, and that can't be quantified.

I hope that you leave here feeling more proud of who you are, whether you don't speak enough Spanish, or all you speak is Spanish, no one can take that away from you.

When one of us succeeds, we all succeed.

Remember that.

(audience cheering and applause).

And now, to perform their hit song "Mis Sentimientos," and give us all something to dance to, please welcome back Ximena Sariana and our 2024 Arts Award Honorees Los ngeles Azules!
