Selecciones Magazine's First-Ever 'Generation Latino: Hispanic Teens Who Are Changing The World' Editorial Franchise Brought to Life
Top Talent On Hand to Celebrate Inaugural Event Including Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez, Univision's Giselle Blondet, Telemundo's Poncho de Anda, Despierta America's Ana Maria Canseco & Singer Shalim.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5 -- Selecciones, the world's best-selling Spanish-language magazine, celebrated its 35th anniversary yesterday with the introduction of its first-ever "Generation Latino: Hispanic Teens Who Are Changing the World" event. The pages of the magazine's October issue were brought to life at a special awards luncheon and media event at Bongo's Cuban Café in Miami honoring seven Hispanic teens for their talents, accomplishments and unsurpassed contributions to their communities. Today's most prominent newsmakers -- TV personalities, musicians, and political leaders -- were also on-hand to present each teen with an award and deliver their own personal stories of obstacles, successes and achievements.
The magazine conducted a nationwide search to find extraordinary Hispanic teens who are excelling in their chosen field including the arts, politics, medicine and technology. Seven teens were selected under the following categories: The Activist: Miguel Zazueta; The Innovator: Eletha Joy Flores; The Healer: Pamela Escobar; The Forecaster: Roque Cespedes; The Storyteller: Lucas Leyva; The Performer: Eva Martinez and The Contender: Seniesa Estrada.
