Ernie G Delivers Key Note Address for
UCLA's 32nd Annual RAZA Graduation Ceremony

Ernie G was absolutely thrilled and honored recently when he was invited to be
the Key Note Speaker for UCLA's 32nd Annual RAZA Graduation Ceremony, last Father's Day, June 19, inside Pauley Pavillion on the UCLA Campus. For over 30 years, UCLA Raza Grad has given its graduating Latino students the opportunity to celebrate their academic achievement in a more personal, intimate and culturally relevant ceremony. The Raza Grad Committee chose Ernie G as the Key Note Speaker for their commencement ceremony, which included well over 300 UCLA Latino Graduates, and over 5,000 of their family and friends. Past commencement speakers have included: United Farm Workers Union Leader - Dolores Huerta, UCLA Associate Dean - Dr. Fernando Torres, and U.S. Rep. Esteban Torres.
Ernie G delivered a most heart-felt and poignant speech, and was completely overwhelmed by the warm and loving responses he received from those who attended the ceremony, especially from the UCLA grads, their families, and several UCLA Professors, as well. Ernie may have found his nitch, as he was also invited to be the Key Note Speaker for A.E.W.C.'s High School Drop-Out Recovery Program Graduation in East L.A. Ernie G feels honored by these invitations and takes pride in speaking to these students: "I feel truly blessed by any opportunity to participate in Celebrating Latino Excellence, and contributing to the progressive evolution of our culture."

One of the proudest moments of Ernie G's career happened during last year's Latino Heritage Month, when he was Honored by former L.A. Mayor James K. Hahn, with the 1st Annual Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" Award. Each year, the Mayor and the City of Los Angeles recognizes individuals who empower and unite the Latino community through their work. According to the award, Ernie was chosen for "representing the Latino community with the same humor and distinction as the legendary Mario Moreno "Cantinflas" and who, like Cantinflas, utilizes his power to help those most in need."
Ernie was deeply honored by this recognition, and was thrilled to receive this award before his family and a loving crowd of thousands, on the brand new Hollywood Strip, along Highland & Hollywood. Most memorable for Ernie, was sharing the stage with the esteemed panel of recipients, which included musician Carlos Santana, congressman Gil Cedillo, social activist Dolores Huerta, community leader Father Greg Boyle & Latina playwrite Josefina Lopez.

      Ernie G is becoming one of the country's most sought after Latino Entertainers, Educators, and Speakers. Career performances at many high profile corporate events, including the National Council de la Raza (NCLR) Conference the past few years, have helped Ernie make a name for himself in the corporate arena. Numerous Fortune 100 Companies, as well as non-profit organizations, colleges and universities throughout the country continue to contract his services for speaking engagements, award galas, or fundraising events. Recently, he delivered the Key Note Address at UCLA's 32nd Annual RAZA Graduation, inspiring over 5000 UCLA graduates, students, friends and family members.
       Recognizing the enormous demand for top-quality, progressive and well-written Latino Comedy, Entertainment, and Education, Ernie has announced plans for the development of his new Company and corporate site: LatinoEdutainment.com- "Educating and Entertaining with a Latino Flavor!" (to be launched in late 2006). Today, Latino audiences are more sophisticated, informed, and creatively demanding than ever before, which has compelled Ernie to create and develop cutting-edge material which reflects this cultural evolution. Performing his own unique form of Comedy he calls "Edu-tainment," Ernie has made personal appearances for some of the country's top companies and organizations; including Pepsi-Co, the NBA, the U.S. Armed Forces, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, and the Latin American Educational Foundation, to name a few.
       One of his most memorable Corporate appearances was performing for Top Executives at General Mills Headquarters in Minneapolis, MN. G.M. Executives were so impressed with Ernie G's simple, yet elegant message, they are working with Ernie to bring other Latino entertainers to Minneapolis, "...so we can educate our top GM executives on the diversity of the growing Latino Market, and dismantle the stereotypes many people have about Latinos. Ernie does that in a hilarious, and pertinent way." - Diego Osuna, President, General Mills Hispanic Network.

Ernie G also had the honor to perform for 2004 Presidential hopeful John Kerry and the Democratic Party’s Presidential “Get Out and Vote” Campaign throughout CA and AZ. He has performed for and helped numerous public officials get elected, such as Millie Escobedo as L.A. County Superior Court Judge, the 1st Latina ever elected to that seat, and Jose Huizar as L.A. City Council 14th District Member. Ernie even played a key role in last year's historical election of Antonio Villaraigosa as the 1st Latino Mayor of Los Angeles in over 100 years!
