Description

In this episode, Gaby Huezo shares how she left El Salvador, navigated cultural differences in LA, and built a creative career from scratch—all while taking up space and championing Latinx voices globally. Learn how to take risks, own your space, and make your impact.

In this empowering episode, we sit down with Gaby Huezo, creative strategist, storyteller, and founder of Haus of Duke, to uncover how she took bold risks, built a creative career from scratch, and championed Latinx voices globally.

Gaby shares the lessons she learned leaving El Salvador for Los Angeles, navigating cultural differences, and stepping into rooms where she wasn't expected—yet choosing to take up space with confidence and purpose.

You will discover how to:

  • Take risks and create opportunities instead of waiting for them
  • Build a career from scratch in a new country while staying true to your identity

From shaping influencer strategy for MAC in El Salvador to running her own business and building campaigns for global brands, Gaby's story is a masterclass in courage, cultural empathy, and purposeful career-building.

Whether you're a creative professional, an immigrant, or anyone striving to show up boldly in your career, this episode will leave you inspired and ready to take risks, own your space, and amplify your voice.
