Growing up in a housing project, Jeff Valdez dreamed big and turned those dreams into reality. Today, he's a renowned producer, dedicated to re-framing how Latinos are portrayed in TV and film, with credits including the groundbreaking series The Brothers Garcia and its reboot, The Garcias, on HBO Max. Jeff's story is a testament to resilience and innovation. He co-founded SiTV, the first national cable network owned and run by Latinos in the U.S., and has been a key strategist for major companies like Coca-Cola, Miller Beer, and Time Warner Cable. His work continues to create non-stereotypical Latino content through New Cadence Productions. Join us and be inspired by Jeff's incredible vision and success.
