"Macy’s stand on diversity and inclusion is a clear reflection
of the rich cultures we serve in our marketplace. Macy’s is
committed to honoring and recognizing the significant contributions
Hispanics have made in entertainment, music and beauty through this
campaign,” said Dineen Garcia, Macy’s vice president of Diversity
Strategies. “Diversity is at the heart of our business and we look
forward to celebrating these achievements with our Hispanic
Heritage Month events from coast-to-coast.”
Mario Lopez is an accomplished host, actor and author,
currently hosting “Extra” and his own nationally-syndicated radio
show, “On With Mario.” He became an overnight teen idol in 1989
playing A.C. Slater on the television sitcom “Saved by the Bell.”
He has since appeared in several films and on Broadway, as well as
hosted numerous television shows, including “The X Factor” and
MTV’s “America’s Best Dance Crew.”
“I’m grateful to Macy’s for recognizing the significance of
Hispanic culture in America, and for providing an opportunity for
me to share the importance my family and my heritage have played in
my life,” said Lopez, who is first generation Mexican-American. “I
am proud of my culture and always hope to be a positive influence
for others.”
With two Latin Grammy awards under his belt, Don Omar
became one of reggaeton’s first international superstars with his
debut album “The Last Don” in 2003. He is also an acclaimed actor,
known worldwide for his role as Rico Santos in the “The Fast and
the Furious” movie franchise.
"First and foremost I'd like to thank Macy's for the opportunity
and interest in having me participate in such a grand event. A
corporation like no other uniting brands of fashion, style and most
of all, uniting cultures,” said Omar. “I am a proud Hispanic
because it means I am part of a group that has unique
cuisines, music, morals and artistic traditions. I am a proud
Hispanic because our language has broken barriers and enhanced
multiculturalism merging Latino communities while adding respect
and honor to the United States of America."
Angel Merino is an international makeup artist and style
icon who has worked closely with the industry’s top photographers
and celebrity clients such as Christina Milan, Cassie, Mel B and
Chanel Iman. He’s known for bringing out his clients’ dewy,
ultra-glowy skin.
Macy’s Hispanic Heritage Month events will take place at stores
across the country including Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, Santa
Clara, New York City, and Houston. Customers will have the
opportunity to be part of a casual conversation with the Latino
influencers about their cultural heritage and the role it has
played in their lifestyles and careers. Angel Merino will also
conduct a live beauty demo and offer mini-consultations with
attendees. Customers who make any purchase of $50 or more during
the event will receive a copy of Don Omar’s latest album “The Last
Don II”* and get to take a photo of the influencers.
