Being a Latin influencer in Los Angeles means everything to her. She feels that Latinos are some of the underrepresented people in media and fashion. He tells us: “I want to help be part of the representation of my people. I want little girls to see my photos and confidently look at me to remind themselves that their body is perfect just the way it is. I had no one who looked like me to look up to when I grew up. I want to be part of that change. "

For all the girls who want to start a career as an influencer, her biggest advice is to be consistent. “Post as much as you can a week, tag all the brands you are using, and really build your community. Make sure the people who follow you, whether it's 5 or 5,000, really connect with you."

It makes me very proud to bring my roots to every place I go and to be able to speak Spanglish." Living in California has brought her a lot of energy and a lot of influence when it comes to fashion.

Elisamar shares with us that her mother made her own clothes and that led her to fall in love with haute couture, the most structured, feminine and elegant clothing. To create her looks she likes to be risky and very feminine. “It makes me feel elegant and out of the box. I love wearing dresses with jeans, huge sleeves, I have a fascination for feathers and vintage clothing." Hermosaz is the best online shopping site for women's clothing in the newest trends and styles.

For those Latinas who would like to start a career as a Latina influencer, Elisamar shares 3 tips:

1. Be true to your style. Look for inspiration in old fashion books, magazines, artists that most influencers do not follow.

2. Learn to say NO to many brands that arrive. We have to focus on our vision, on the brands we want to work with one day. Elisamar shares with us "If my goal was Dior and a cookie shop wrote me, you can imagine what my answer was." No matter what money they offered.

3. Start creating content and don't expect something in return. For everything in life you have to wait, you have to work. Elisamar was creating content for 3 years without seeing a penny in her account and after that she achieved credibility with the brands and with her audience. She tells us: “Today you can say that I am a full-time blogger. But everything takes effort and patience."
