00:00We are here with our first guest, our Impact Award honoree.
00:04Chiquis, ¿cómo te sientes esta noche?
00:07Ay, con ganas de llorar, de llorar de emoción.
00:11I am just so honored, estoy me siento, me siento honrada,
00:15me siento, no sé, me siento feliz.
00:16Es un gran privilegio estar aquí con tanta mujer talentosa,
00:20siendo reconocida, for like something that I feel like
00:24he tenido muy claro desde el inicio de mi carrera
00:26y que ahora me están dando este reconocimiento, no saben.
00:31Yo creo que, anyway, estoy feliz.
00:34I have to ask, how has life been as a redhead so far?
00:38Fun, very fun.
00:40You know what?
00:41I feel very, me siento muy bien.
00:45I thought I was going to get bored,
00:47but I feel like I'm really committing to this color.
00:50So, me siento muy bien.
00:51It's fun.
00:52I feel like my clothes is changing, the colors are changing,
00:54I'm loving it.
00:56I know Grisela had a very special question for you.
00:58Dime.
00:59Obviamente estás recibiendo the Impact Award,
01:01y otra persona que tuvo mucho impacto fue tu mamá.
01:04So, how present is your mom in a night like tonight?
01:07Very present.
01:09Not only is she present in my heart and my mind,
01:11definitely in my performance tonight,
01:13I'm honoring her as well.
01:15She taught me everything as a daughter,
01:18but also,
01:19como artista,
01:20en mi género.
01:21O sea, fue una mujer,
01:22es una mujer muy importante para todas nosotras.
01:25She really paved the way,
01:26so I felt it was only right to honor her.
01:30And I think, yes, I mean,
01:32she was one of the ones that came before all of us,
01:34and really gave us a platform.
01:36So, even if, I always say this,
01:37even if she wasn't my mom,
01:38I'd still be a fan of the woman that she is,
01:40her music,
01:41and what she left,
01:42her legacy.
01:43So, I just imagine,
01:44now for me,
01:45it's like, it's an honor.
01:46It's an honor to be her daughter, for sure.
01:48Talking about paving the way,
01:50your siblings are all kicking off their music careers.
01:53Tenemos a Johnny,
01:54que de hecho está arrancando esta nueva etapa.
01:57What's the best sister advice you've given them
02:00about the music industry?
02:02Wow.
02:03Le di unos cuantos consejos.
02:05I told him more than anything,
02:06be yourself.
02:07Be authentic.
02:08Be who you are.
02:09That's what people are going to resonate with.
02:12That's what people,
02:13they're going to fall in love with you for who you are.
02:16Just show them your heart.
02:17And I saw that he did that,
02:19and he's doing that through his music.
02:21I can't wait.
02:22Ya quiero que escuchen su música.
02:23And of course, my sister too.
02:24My sister Jackie tiene una gran voz.
02:26Así que ellos saben que tienen mi apoyo completamente.
02:29Siempre estoy aquí para darles un consejo.
02:31Yo creo que ellos vieron lo que mi mamá hizo,
02:34y también lo que yo he hecho.
02:35Así que ellos están listos.
02:36I'm not worried.
02:37Leading by example.
02:38Leading by example.
02:39Ok, I have to ask you really quick.
02:40When I interviewed you for your feature,
02:42me dijiste que estabas trabajando en musiquita nueva.
02:46And she actually told me,
02:48I'm going to give a spoiler alert.
02:49She actually said it's going to be puro pinche party.
02:53I quote her.
02:54So I want to know,
02:55cómo va ese proceso ahí en el estudio.
02:57Ahí va.
02:58Y desde esa conversación,
03:00ha cambiado muchas cosas.
03:03Pero, obviamente,
03:04tengo una canción que así se llama puro pinche party.
03:07Y pues estamos viendo.
03:08We're going to see what we're going to do,
03:09but definitely I'm working on music.
03:11I've been writing a lot,
03:12so I'm super excited.
03:13Así que ya,
03:14ya estoy.
03:15Pronto van a escuchar.
03:16Solo quiero recalcar el impacto de Chiquis beyond music,
03:19porque siempre has usado tu plataforma
03:21para,
03:22to advocate for others as well,
03:24especially our community,
03:25our Latin community.
03:26So I want to thank you for that.
03:27Thank you so much.
03:28See, those things are so important to me.
03:29It's more than just singing and selling products.
03:32It's just,
03:33it's like,
03:34yes,
03:35the message and supporting our people.
03:36And I'm like,
03:37I'm one that always says,
03:38I'm going not just to say it.
03:39I'm going to show it.
03:40I'm going to stand by what I believe.
