JLo<\/strong> donned a green ensemble for the event, wearing the Bronx Banco<\/em> Brielle Sage Diamond Gown, and carried a Tyler Ellis<\/em> clutch. <\/p>\n

She received the inaugural Adelante Award for Industry at the festival, which “recognizes visionary leaders whose work has created lasting impact and expanded opportunities across the entertainment industry.” <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe fact that it is named the \u201cAdelante\u201d makes this recognition especially meaningful to me, because moving forward has always been at the heart of everything I do, and our community does. We push boundaries, create opportunities, and ensure the next generation has an even clearer path.\u201d – Jennifer Lopez while accepting the award<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She was presented with the honor by her Selena: The Movie<\/em> and Office Romance<\/em> co-star Edward James Olmos<\/strong><\/a>, who is the founder and chairman of the Board of the Latino Film Institute. Their Selena<\/em> director Gergory Nava<\/strong> was also in attendance. <\/p>\n

The award recognized the Landman star for being an “emerging talent helping shape the future of the industry.” <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI will continue uplifting Latino voices. I want to knock doors down the way those before me did and to the little girls that look like us, & we come in different shades of beauty, this is for you.\u201d – Paulina Chavez while accepting the award<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
