Abuse is a pervasive issue that affects individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their ethnic background, socioeconomic status, or geographical location. However, within the Latino community, abuse is often shrouded in silence, fueled by cultural norms, shame, and fear.

Community pressure within the industry often discourages performers from "rocking the boat," lest they be blacklisted from future work—a consequence that disproportionately affects minorities who have fewer pathways to mainstream crossover success.
