The Benchmarks of Success for Gay Latino Pepz Javier

Entertainer, dancer, and entrepreneur Pepz Javier moved from the Dominican Republic to the East Coast as a kid and found his roots in the arts. Not speaking English until he was 11, he never saw immigrants like himself make it growing up aside from J Lo. He eventually had to face his own benchmarks - a gay Latino male, the artistry, and a desire to break a glass ceiling. We can all relate to Pepz's story because we all have those ceilings to break, regardless of gender, race, or sexual preference.
