They reminisce about their youth when they saw media as a distant dream and express their happiness at witnessing the positive changes and increased Latino representation in the industry. Carmen also emphasizes the importance of focusing on the positive support from an audience when pursuing creative and artistic endeavors rather than allowing negative comments to overshadow one's hard work.
