What have you seen that has demonstrated how powerful women can be when they work together? “It is important for women to champion other women. We bring such a well-rounded perspective that is beyond empathy to any project. We are the heart and that makes a real difference that often times the traditional world, just doesn’t understand. There’s nothing we can’t do when we work and support each other.”

It is my desire to help blue chip companies reach and respect multicultural communities with responsible marketing and public service programming. We connect iconic brands with key audiences. I always want to be a tipping point for impactful change and live up to the potential that God placed in my promise. ’tJustLookThePart

What have you seen that has demonstrated how powerful women can be when they work together?

"I've had the privilege of witnessing the incredible power of women working together firsthand within my own team. Our team consists of a group of strong, determined women who consistently go above and beyond to not only meet but exceed expectations in our work. What truly amazes me is how seamlessly we come together, leveraging each other's strengths, to tackle challenges with precision and grace.

What's even more remarkable is that many of us juggle demanding professional roles with equally important responsibilities at home. Despite these commitments, our dedication to our work and each other never wavers. If someone has to take time off to care for a sick family member, or leave early to make it to a child’s performance, or emergency vet visit, we all pitch in and keep thing moving. It's a testament to the strength and resilience of women when we come together with a common goal."

Beyond the conference rooms and arenas, I take center stage in the role of a dedicated single mother to my 12-year-old basketball enthusiast, ensuring his dreams soar as high as his three-point shots. In my free time, you'll find me running and training for a marathon, as I push my limits and revel in the excitement of crossing the finish line. I also enjoy packing my bags and embarking on journeys around the globe, immersing myself in diverse cultures, cuisine

What have you seen that has demonstrated how powerful women can be when they work together?

As an award-winning actor and director, I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible power of collaboration among women in the industry. I cherish the opportunity to tell stories that resonate with me personally, breaking away from generic tropes and challenging industry norms. Moreover, being part of projects where I’ve worn multiple hats, both behind and in front of the camera, has highlighted the strength and creativity that emerges when women work together. Through DIY initiatives and creating our own opportunities, women in the industry can defy the constraints and shape narratives that reflect our diverse experiences and perspectives.

My journey is not just personal; it’s a celebration of the resilience and creativity of women in the world of entertainment.

Celebrate with us as we highlight amazing women making history!  Melanie Lopez, Creative Director of Somos Arte, prides herself on supporting influential humans who are creating unique and innovative strides within their community and culture. 

What have you seen that has demonstrated how powerful women can be when they work together?  "Community Empowerment, when women often come together to address social and economic challenges within their communities. Through grassroots initiatives, microfinance projects, and advocacy campaigns, women collaborate to uplift each other and create positive change. This is what we strive to do with Somos Arte. Whether it's supporting small businesses, promoting education for our high school ambassadors, or advocating for artist through community events, these collective efforts demonstrate the transformative power of women working together. I'm honored to be in a village full of women that see how powerful we all our all within out gifts and continue to support one another in all of life's adventures."

My role is centered around building and nurturing relationships between our organization and the communities we serve. I work closely with community members, local organizations, and artist to understand their needs, concerns, and aspirations. My goal is to empower communities to actively participate in shaping their own futures and to foster a sense of belonging, ownership, and pride in our collective efforts towards positive change. By fostering open communication and collaboration, I strive to ensure that our programs and initiatives are responsive to the diverse needs of the communities we serve. This involves organizing community events, conducting outreach efforts, and work to identify opportunities for partnership and resource-sharing that can strengthen our impact and sustainability. Aside from this being my favorite role in life, you can also find me supporting local business around the world and enjoying styling all the powerful pieces I purchase. I do everything with my heart and I hope to heal the world around me with this energy.
