Latino artist and activist, Edward James Olmos, an icon in the world of film and television, has always been a steadfast advocate for the Latino community. His dedication to empowering Latinos has taken on a new urgency, not just because of the political climate, but also due to his personal battle with throat cancer—a battle he has triumphantly overcome. Now, with renewed vigor and perspective, Olmos is directing his energy towards mobilizing young Latino voters, urging them to recognize the power of their voice.
For two grueling years, Olmos fought against throat cancer, enduring the rigors of chemotherapy and radiation. "It was a battle that tested every part of me," he shared in an emotional interview with The Latin Times. "We are done with chemotherapy and radiation. Things are OK."
