Daisy Fuentes on Breaking Barriers and Embracing Her Latina Identity

The trailblazing host reflects on representation, giving back and turning her heritage into a superpower.

Trailblazing model, host, entrepreneur and fashion designer Daisy Fuentes joins Mario and Courtney Lopez for a personal conversation about her groundbreaking career. Fuentes reflects on becoming MTV’s first Latina VJ and the first Latina spokesperson to receive a worldwide Revlon contract—milestones she did not fully recognize as history-making at the time. She shares how her Cuban heritage and bicultural identity became a superpower, while encouraging the next generation of Latinas to recognize everything they have to offer. Fuentes also discusses her commitment to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, breast cancer awareness and animal welfare, along with the lifelong love of music that shaped her career and led her to husband Richard Marx.
