Nissan is praising several “everyday Hispanic heroes” in their latest video series. The series is in honor of “Hispanic Heritage Month,” which took place between September and October. Recognizing five Hispanic men and women who have made a difference in their communities, the videos are a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and to learn more about these individual people who have made a real impact on the world.
"The contributions of everyday heroes who help Hispanic Americans realize opportunities that they might not have otherwise, is indeed worth recognition and celebration," said Lanae Jackson, Nissan's manager of Multicultural Marketing Communications. "Nissan has chosen to draw attention to the stories of Hispanic advocates, educators and change makers who live largely outside the limelight, yet, whose contributions light the lives of countless others."
Some of the “everyday heroes” featured in the video series include Renata Sots who is the co-founder of Conexión Américas, which is a non-profit that works toward “promoting the social, economic and civic integration of Latino families,” and Elías Hermidas, who is the founder of Emprendedor U, which provides free small-business seminars to Hispanic entrepreneurs.
"The day-to-day tasks and challenges associated with moving their respective causes forward become the decisions and actions that enable change, bring about progress and promote Hispanic culture more broadly," Jackson says of the featured heroes. "Nissan salutes these men and women and their commitment to enable others to be great."
