Episode description
Steve Dez is a Dominican Puerto Rican Boricua who achieved his dreams in Hollywood and is now becoming a citizen of the world. Steve Runs a production company and a Latino network helping creatives develop their projects and shows.
Born in the Dominican Republic, Steve's parents became citizens of the United States and Puerto Rico when they immigrated to Puerto Rico. Growing up, Steve was driven to live up to his own legacy, and he knew that to do that, he needed to go to the United States. So, he followed his dream of becoming an actor instead of following the traditional path of life his parents and those around him wanted him to follow. He could barely speak English, but he dreamt of making it big in Hollywood. To overcome his language barrier, he learned English by watching American television and finally secured a position in Hollywood after struggling for years.
Today, he talks about following your passion, pursuing your dreams and living by enjoying every moment of life.
