mun2 explores how Latinos are changing the way America understands race and ethnicity. Drawing from the uniquely American stories of Latino celebrities, musicians and journalists of African heritage including singer/actress Christina Milian (American Pie), actor Laz Alonso (Avatar), actress Tatyana Ali (Fresh Prince of Bel Air), and MSNBC journalist Soledad O’Brien, the web original explores an important yet often misrepresented segment of the US Latino population. Black and Latino debuted January 11th on {mun2.tv/blackandlatino}. “As part of our commitment to reflecting the diversity and dynamism of US Latino identity, we are honored to share these provocative and poignant stories of celebrities who live and work at the intersection of so many cultures,” says José Márquez, VP Interactive Strategy, Telemundo and mun2.Black and Latino marks the latest mun2.tv original. The award-winning site received an Imagen award in 2011 in the Best Web Series category for an original online program about Mexican American culture titled Chismex, and has become the leading platform for young Latinos to define and celebrate their identity.
