Billboard Latin Music Awards 2024

Miami, 2024

Being part of the Billboard Latin Music Awards was an unforgettable honor. It marked my first time hosting a major live broadcast, and I felt the weight and beauty of the moment in every second on stage.

What made it even more meaningful was the focus of the evening: celebrating the voices, achievements, and impact of women in music. I’ve always believed in the power of women supporting women, and to stand on that stage, using my voice to uplift others, felt like something I was meant to do.

Sharing the experience with Azucena was incredible. She is not only an Emmy winner, but someone I truly admire. I learned so much from her, both during rehearsals and on the night of the show. Her generosity and presence made the entire experience feel grounded and collaborative.

One of the highlights was connecting with legends like Emilio and Gloria Estefan. Their presence was magnetic, and I’ll always remember the conversations we shared backstage and during interviews. Their stories reminded me how powerful music can be in shaping culture and bringing people together.

I left the evening feeling proud, energized, and more inspired than ever. Hosting is something I’ve come to love deeply, and I hope this is just the beginning of many more nights like this.

With love,
Ariadna
