“ We are so much more than our stereotypes… and our identity is not defined by those stereotypes.”

Latino actor and filmmaker Eric Delgado is here to share his lived experience with identity, belonging, and what it means to live between cultures.

From Hollywood typecasting to being told he’s “not Latino enough” or “too American,” Eric shares his experiences that inspired his acclaimed web series Gringo Latino — a comedy that uses humor to challenge stereotypes, expose bias, and spark deeper reflection.

This chat explores the quiet moments that make you question where you fit, the exhaustion of having to prove your identity, and why laughter can be both a survival tool and a form of resistance.

We’re chatting about:

• • What it actually feels like to be told you’re “not Latino enough”
  • Growing up between cultures and never fully belonging to either one
  • The microaggressions of being asked to prove your culture, language, or legitimacy
  • How humor can challenge stereotypes and create real change
  • Reclaiming identity on your own terms, not the world’s expectations

If you’ve ever felt othered, caught between worlds, or questioned your place within your own community, this conversation will resonate deeply.
