And he pulled out a roster of boldfaced names to fight traffic and make the escape into what turned out to be a poignant and impactful event.

That\u2019s the Home Depot where the largest ICE raid happened in Los Angeles. It is where they took a lot of people as they were working, as they were shopping. It was the beginning of something as Latinos started to see a different world that we\u2019re living in. What I wanted to do tonight is leave the lights in the past as they are behind me and create the lights of the future Latinos and Latinos that we are, so that we can shine. What we are and who we are is love and familia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tReflections of love and family were everywhere on the grounds. Traditional D\u00eda de Muertos ofrendas \u2014\u00a0altars designed to honor departed loved ones through images, offerings, mementos and personal treasures \u2014 were placed throughout the Los Angeles River Center and Gardens. Also on the program too, as the night\u2019s marquee award, the Abuelita Award, was presented by Cabello to her grandmother, Mercedes Rodriguez. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cMy grandma is not a woman who waits for happiness to come and sit on her lap,\u201d Cabello praised of her Rodriguez who flew in for the event. \u201cSince she was young, she was the first one to come on and last one to leave the dance floor and she\u2019ll be the first to tell you that as she gets older, her spirit only feels younger.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tThat spirit has influenced Cabello. \u201cBeing bold didn\u2019t come naturally to me,\u201d she explained. \u201cShe will tell you of the time I visited her in Cuba and made her stand in the closet with her eyes closed while I sang her a song on my guitar because I didn\u2019t want her to look at me. Every woman in my family has had a huge pair of balls. And seeing them in action has given me the courage to do it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tShe traced a little of her grandmother\u2019s career path as a check translator, screenwriter, CEO of a movie production company, record label executive, novel author and more. \u201cMy grandma and I are really alike, and we always talk about it. We are both of all of these things, artists, writers, overdramatic, too sensitive, bossy, clingy, and we put our family on the pedestal above everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-hollywoodreporter-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2244266959.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"2002\" width=\"3000\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tRodriguez accepts her award from a beaming Cabello.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(Photo by Gonzalo Marroquin\/Getty Images for The Dia De Muertos Gala)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tLopez also had his chosen family well represented on the invite list with Richie, Sawyer, Mizrahi and others. \u201cCarlos is like my brother,\u201d Richie explained. \u201cI\u2019ve been to every gala he\u2019s thrown and been able to experience all these venue changes and see L.A. through his eyes. It\u2019s incredible and I\u2019m saying that as someone who is born and raised in L.A. We don\u2019t get to do this a lot.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tCimino, decked out in traditional makeup with his pal Zakhar Perez, said meeting Lopez and attending the D\u00eda de Muertos galas has changed his life. \u201cCarlos brought me together with some of my closest friends five years ago at one of these. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/events\/\" id=\"auto-tag_events_1\" data-tag=\"events\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">events<\/a> have weirdly changed my life because it was one of the first big Latino events I went to. Since then it\u2019s spiraled into this whole other thing, whether it\u2019s the D\u00eda de Muertos parties or the other events he\u2019s helped organize, he\u2019s inadvertently changed a lot of lives with what he\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHe\u2019s hoping to change more. Lopez announced during the gala that he had launched T\u00faTomorrow, a nonprofit meant to \u201cempower the next generation of Latino creatives and entrepreneurs.\u201d In partnership with the Hispanic Federation, he presented two grants to Los Angeles residents to help with their creative pursuits. He honored Jesus Perez, founder of Lucky Athletes, for his dedication to creating opportunities for Latino youth through sports in partnership with the Mar Vista Family Center. Julieta Ramos also received an award for her work as a student and aspiring filmmaker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tEven with music superstars like Cabello and Miguel in the audience, the program featured musical moments with two other talents. Lupita Infante and DannyLux treated the crowd to brief sets, both paying tribute to family and the forgotten in their time in the lights. The latter performed his song \u201cYa No Est\u00e1s\u201d as a way to honor the spirit of remembrance while Infante paid tribute to her father and grandfather for paving the way for her musically. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tBut it was Cabello who summed up what the experience meant to her as a first-time attendee: \u201cThis is a night that my family and I will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\"
