WELCOME
I’m Elsa Sevilla—an Emmy-nominated journalist and award-winning television, bilingual host, filmmaker, and keynote speaker with more than 35 years in broadcast media. After a lifetime of telling other people’s stories, I now step onto the stage to share my own, showing how storytelling and history shape identity, resilience, and purpose.
As a professional speaker, I deliver powerful, story-driven keynotes that help audiences:
-
• Turning Trauma into Purpose
• Storytelling as Healing
• Finding Your Voice
• History as Identity
CAMERA READY
Camera Ready: From Hardship to the Spotlight is more than my story—it was part of my healing. Writing this book helped me reclaim my voice, make sense of hardship, and honor the strength that carried me forward. Instinct guided my path, storytelling gave me purpose, and survival became something I could transform into meaning. If sharing my journey helps even one person feel seen, stronger, or less alone, then telling this story was worth it. Our voices have the power to change our lives.
