I am not just Becky G, I am your daughter, your niece, your sister, your partner. Us women have dreams that matter and that should be encouraged, nurtured, and supported. I am here because there is an entire generation of women my age & the generations to come that see themselves in me the way I saw pieces of me in the women I looked up to. Selena (@selenaqofficial), Jenifer Lopez (@jlo), & Jenni Rivera (@jennirivera) taught me that just because I was born here & speak English but sing in Spanish doesn’t mean I’m not “Latina Enough”. They taught that just because I found my “Sexy” does not mean I should be ashamed of my body and sexuality. They taught me that freedom of creative expression as a women in the Latin industry through fashion, songs and being our true authentic self is more important than the criticism we have faced for being brave. We as women are so much more than the boxes we are constantly put into. We need to continue pushing & using our platforms to build each other up. I could go into a whole other rant about that but I’ll save that for another time. Many people ask me if I feel a responsibility with my career. The answer is yes. I have always felt the pressures of responsibilities. I used to think that responsibility was to please everyone and be the perfect role model. I then learned that was impossible. Not everyone is going to like me. But I am not for everybody. The real responsibility is to myself. To be a REAL model. To prioritize my happiness the way I would want my little sister to prioritize her happiness instead of trying to be something that she is not because society told her to do so. If I can lead by example, inspire others with just that simple way of being good to myself and following my heart. I’m doing my job. Thank you.

Durante el almuerzo Leading Ladies of Entertainment, en el marco de los Latin Grammy 2018, la intérprete dio un poderoso discurso:

“Estas personas creyeron en mi visión y han hecho todo lo posible para crear un espacio para que una joven como yo sea libre. Un lugar para ser escuchada, para crecer, para aprender y para ser audaz. Siempre me tratan con respeto, igualdad, amor y cuidado. Me han desafiado y me han empujado a ser más grande”.

“Estas personas de mi equipo también me defendieron y lucharon valientemente por lo que creo. Por eso siempre estaré agradecida y siempre inspirado para seguir haciendo exactamente lo que estoy haciendo”.

“Estoy aquí de pie porque trabajo duro. Estoy aquí porque soy fuerte. Estoy aquí porque tengo talento. Estoy aquí porque estoy orgullosa de dónde vengo. Estoy aquí porque nunca pediré perdón por expresarme como elijo”.

Sin más que agregar… Amén.

I was 9 years old. Living in Inglewood when I started working. 12 years later here I am. Knowing that the Latin @recordingacademy acknowledges my accomplishments & efforts to inspire others is a huge milestone for me in itself. One that hopefully brings me closer to taking a Grammy home one day. I wouldn’t be where I am without the people who believed in me. Since a very young age my parents ALWAYS supported me. They never put caps on dreams. They never told me I couldn’t do something because I was a girl. I think that explains a lot as to why I am the way I am today. Mom, dad, Thank you for that. There’s also a couple of people on my team that I’d like to thank. Those people are Marc Jordan, Ben Tischker, Sherin & the rest of the Rebel One family. Also Afo & Nir, alongside their entire Sony Latin team. Thank you all. These people believed in my vision & have done everything they can to create a space for a young woman like myself to be free. A place to be listened to, to grow, to learn, and to be bold. They always treat me with respect, equality, love & care. They’ve challenged me & have pushed me to become greater. These people on my team have also defended me & have fought bravely for what I believe in. For that I will forever be thankful as well as forever be inspired to continue doing exactly what I’m doing. I am standing here because I am a hard working. I am here because I am strong. I am here because I am talented. I am here because I am proud of where I come from. I am here because I will never ask for forgiveness for expressing myself the way I choose to.

Sin duda una mujer de admirar, que representa a una nueva generación de mujeres poderosas y sin miedo a su libertad de expresión, que como ella misma lo dice, no duda de sus raíces latinas, menos del poder de hablar de su sexualidad abiertamente.

“No a todo el mundo le va a gustar. Pero no soy para todos. La verdadera responsabilidad es conmigo misma. Para ser un modelo REAL.”
