My guest today has a one-of-a-kind story that I can’t wait for you to hear. She just spoke at my Excelente global event and was incredible. She has faced massive challenges as a Latina professional in the media industry and has overcome them to create unprecedented success.
Mariana Atencio took the world by storm in 2017 when her TEDx talk “What makes YOU special?” went viral. To date, it has over 17 million views and has been translated into 13 languages. Focused on the power of authenticity, her book “Perfectly You” was an Amazon Best Seller and selected by Audible and AppleBooks.
As a former anchor at Univision and national correspondent at NBC News, she has traveled the world to report on some of the most volatile conflicts of our times, in both English and Spanish, for over a decade, specializing in the Latino experience across the Americas. Now, she’s quickly become one of the most sought-after motivational speakers, founding her own media company, “GoLike”, and teaming up with Microsoft, Pepsico, P&G, YouTube, Citi, the World Health Organization and the United Nations, among others, to represent and empower our communities.
Mariana’s story is featured on the award-winning HBO special “Habla Now” and her work has been honored with a Peabody Award, 3 Emmy nominations and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists Presidential Award.
