2012 Spring Art Battle was another diamond in our crown for Living Loving and Creating Change. JWT New York was transformed into a sanctuary of creative expression. I’m still taking it all in cause it seems surreal. Thank you to everyone that came out to show support for Differenter. Big shout out to the judges Carlos Fernandez, Danny Hastings, eric j henderson ~ fine art photography, Ty Hall, and Dawn Kim you guys and gal had a really hard job. And a special thanks to Yesenia Gonzalez for great work on the pictures.
Hablmos is a short Hispanic Heritage documentary by JWT’s Differenter Committee (formally known as the diversity committee) with a distinguished panel of New York City’s most talented poets, actors,directors, and television professionals in a passionate discussion about Latin pride and creativity. Filmed live at the JWT Bar the panelists were asked a series of questions about the presence of Latino’s in the media and in marketing. Also, the panelists spoke about the importance of maintaining and sustaining Latino pride in their every day lives personal and professional and how it gives them the strength overcome adversity in industries that have yet to understand the power and strength of Latino’s.
