More Than a Role: Who Gets to Be Seen and Why It Matters
Tonatiuh shares how his experiences as a queer Mexican American actor have shaped his understanding of identity, storytelling, and power in the entertainment industry. This talk explores why intersectional representation—across sexuality, ethnicity, and lived experience—matters not just in front of the camera, but behind it, and beyond it. With clarity and care, he breaks down the gap between visibility and true inclusion, and invites audiences to consider how stories are shaped, who gets to tell them, and what’s at stake when we get it wrong, or finally get it right.
Aimed at audiences navigating their own personal and creative identities, the talk encourages individuals to advocate for their own stories while making space to listen to and uplift others. It’s a call to be both a participant and an ally in shaping more honest, expansive narratives on screen, on campus, and around the world.
