Galilea Montijo is a Mexican starlet who has graced the Latin entertainment industry from modest beginnings and grown into an icon with over 10M Followers on social media alone. Galilea is one of Mexico’s influential television hosts, models, and actresses. She continues to empower women and Latinas around the world to achieve their dreams and hopes.
As a strong female Latina, what have been the most important lessons you have learned in your life, and why have they been so impactful?
As a Latina woman I have learned many things. I have learned that my life was changing for the better for my family and me. I learned to be stronger and to understand the good and the bad. I learned to be stronger, and to know how to understand with love, the good and the bad. There will always be forgivers with good hearts, and maybe others not so good.
Can you tell us about yourself and how you grew up? Did you always want to pursue a career in entertainment?
I grew up wanting to be a fashion designer and my grandmother, who was like my mother, gave me a sewing machine so I changed clothes and made my designs. I went to the shops in
Guadalajara, and I transformed everything. One day a friend invited me to model, and she was the one who enrolled me in the contest SRITA Jalisco that I won. I went to Mexico to the national competition, and God blessed me with first place. Since that day, everything changed, and here we are working in television that I love and has given me many happy moments.
Was it easy or difficult for you to break into the entertainment industry?
It was not really difficult because when I won the national contest of SRITA Mexico, I won a scholarship to study at the CEA acting school in Televisa.
How do you empower other women around the world?
I empower them with love, confidence, style, and strength, but above all with my heart always in my hand that we can do anything, and we are strong women who can achieve anything.
What advice would you give other young females, especially young Latinas, today?
The best advice I can give you is never give up, and always keep your dreams in your heart and mind. We can achieve anything we set our minds to. We are a strong gender.
As such an important Mexican figure who has worked on numerous live television shows, what are the best tips to staying calm or working under pressure?
I believe that calmness or going down under pressure never leaves one’s side. I have a great team that helps me a lot and gives me a lot of tranquility and security that we will achieve everything. Being surrounded by people who add up I think is the success of many achievements.
If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?
Fighter, dedicated, and fun .
Who have been your greatest inspirations in life?
My greatest inspirations were undoubtedly my grandmother who always taught me to fight for my dreams and always stay grounded, to understand that everything can be achieved with love
and God rewards you handsomely.
Any last words for our readers?
Have a Merry Christmas, and may this New Year bring you all the good things in life.
