Media still shows Latinos through a few narrow stereotypes, and our lived experience tells a richer story. The second JUNTOS, held on 20 November 2025 at Publicis Sapient London, set out to challenge those portrayals and celebrate what Latinidad brings to the workplace.
Owen LaFave, Senior Director of Product Management at Publicis Sapient, opened with What Latinidad Has Taught Me. Then came the panel, Media Portraits vs Reality, moderated by Cristian Garcia: five professionals from AWS, Netflix, Microsoft, Meta and Spirax used film scenes and their own journeys to talk about identity, resilience and what global careers ask of us. The talks were also streamed online, and the evening closed with drinks and networking.
More than 50 people attended, with speakers from six countries on stage. JUNTOS 2025 was hosted by Publicis Sapient with HOLA, Publicis Groupe’s global network for Latino professionals.
