We all need a little inspiration sometimes. Encouraging words to help us with the day-to-day, and motivate us to have an epic life. Life quotes from those sharing their knowledge and experience help us, and we emblazon these words on everything from coffee mugs, to notebooks, and framed art.

There’s an added special layer when these words come from fellow Latinos. After all, we are of the same culture, and share some similar experiences. They inspire us by their actions, so when they speak, we listen. These 13 quotes are from Latinx celebs who shared some life gems, and in the process, helped us all out.wp_*posts
