In this episode, we’re revisiting an inspiring conversation with Jemilly Castro, Vice President of Strategy at Remezcla. Jemilly opens up about the nuanced journey of representing her cultural identity in the predominantly white corporate spaces of the advertising world. Her career path reflects the strength and resilience needed to bring one’s authentic self into professional spaces.

Jemilly shares the early challenges of her career, when she often felt the need to adjust or even mask parts of herself to fit the expected mold of a Latina professional. These experiences prompted deep personal growth, ultimately leading her to embrace her true identity without conforming to external expectations. We also explore how Jemilly practices gratitude and maintains a rich life beyond her career, with personal hobbies like scuba diving and pottery that keep her grounded.

Join us as we revisit Jemilly’s reflections on navigating authenticity, balancing personal and professional identities, and her ongoing journey to live authentically in all aspects of life.
