Jimmy Henton

There is no doubt that Latino celebrities have remarkably contributed to the U.S pop culture. For instance, Shakira (Colombia root) and Ricky Martin (Puerto Rico root) are some of the biggest singers in the Entertainment world. What’s more, American-born Hispanics, such as Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, and Eva Longoria, who have conquered the U.S billboards for decades, prove their uniqueness in their Latino roots. It was an epic journey since they started their career.
