"The bright children of janitors and nail salon workers, bus drivers and fast-food cooks may not have grown up with the edifying vacations, museum excursions, daily doses of NPR and prep schools that groom Ivy applicants, but they are coveted candidates for elite campuses."

These young pioneers, the first in their families in college, speak out about who they are, where they come from and the income inequality on campus. (With video.)

"Being a black Puerto Rican can be confusing to many. People are often quick to associate being Puerto Rican with people who look like Jennifer Lopez or Ricky Martin. Although, yes, there are many Puerto Ricans who look like that, if they dug deeper they’d learn about the true makeup of the island." -Edwin Morales, also known as Konsept.

Calvin Harris, Lil' Jon, Drake and Ne-Yo are just some of the notable names Edwin Morales, also known as DJ Konsept, has opened up for during his music career. The 36 year-old music producer and as...

“Our news reporting hadn’t had a particularly aggressive focus on one major issue of interest to U.S. Hispanics, immigration, or on the many other great stories about the broad group that now represents about 1 in 5 Americans in their twenties. Our nascent lifestyle coverage similarly had its attention elsewhere.”

"Our lists and quizzes, many of them focused on what it’s like to live one life or another, had mostly not been about growing up or being Latino."

Mismore is revamping! The initial idea for the site was to feature the many faces of Latinos (Spanish-speaking or not) and the (non-Latino) people who love them and the culture. Mismore was suppose to be a site where you can see the community of people, who are not only living between two worlds (American and Latino culture) but are are successfully navigating between both. In 2015, we're getting back to our roots. Expect to see more career and people profiles for a more diverse look at what it means to be Latino.

“When you present it that way, it does a disservice,” Obama said. “Because it makes the assumption that the political process is one that can easily be moved around, depending on the will of one person and that’s not how things work.”

"You called me deporter-in-chief," the president said before he was cut off by Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos.

"And the rise of Latino stories in Hollywood is no coincidence. After the unexpected, record-breaking) U.S. success of Eugenio Derbez’s 2013 Spanish-language “Instructions Not Included,” research companies like Nielsen and news outlets like The Wrap and Entertainment Weekly have placed more emphasis on the power of the Latino moviegoer."

For decades Disney has suffered from a dearth of real Latino stories, but the studio seems to be changing that with “McFarland, USA.” The upcoming movie is inspired by a 1987 true story and follows a group of Latino students in a Cali...

"I would tell them there are two things that important to me: changing the way Latinos are viewed in the industry and in media, because the way I saw my culture was poor. Not poor like economically, but in a poor light. And that’s not true. I’m sitting here with two older sisters who are killing the game in their industry, and I don’t see that on TV. I don’t see them included in what’s in TV, on film. I want to make sure that every role I do contributes to that greater role. And I want to change beauty norms. I want to change the way people see beauty." Gina Rodriguez on what motivates her.

Puerto Rican actress Gina Rodriguez made headlines this summer when she spontaneously gave a speech at the Television Critics Association summer press tour about her...

Great idea for what to do with your thanksgiving leftovers.

Chilaquiles are a staple in my house – great for any meal: breakfast, lunch or dinner. When making them for breakfast, I serve an egg (fried or scrambled) on top; for lunch and dinner I usually add shredded chicken, but that can be left out if you’re serving it to a vegetarian.
