\u201cI didn\u2019t want it to feel to like I\u2019m shoving a message down your throat or whatever,\u201d Qui\u00f1ones said in regards to his discovery of the benefits of going to therapy. \u201cI wanted to talk about it organically, but it was something that it saved me…because growing up, the therapy and stuff like that, it just wasn\u2019t even on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are some other ways that you look forward to shedding more light on Chicano culture in the future following this special? <\/b><\/p>\n
When you\u2019re trying to grow in your career, then I do what I do. These are my characters, this is my voice. You sit across from people that, you know they\u2019re from wherever and they moved to L.A. in this career. You\u2019re trying to sell them TV shows. I\u2019ve straight-up been told the words, \u201cYou\u2019re too specific, this doesn\u2019t work here.\u201d People thinking they\u2019re gaming me up or trying to share industry knowledge with me. Like, \u201cYo, this is too specific, it\u2019s not gonna work.\u201d The moments of discouragement are so heavy in this industry. And I just was like, \u201cNah, man, nah, I think people will get it.\u201d And as the years went on, they did. People from all different backgrounds; I go to other parts of the country. I love it when I see a group of people you wouldn\u2019t expect, like a group of old white ladies or something [in the crowd]. \u201cOh, we couldn\u2019t wait to come here, honey.\u201d <\/p>\n
In the end, funny is funny, you know? It doesn\u2019t matter where it comes from. But I am proud to rep my stuff and then you have to deal with even our own community. Especially when CholoFit went viral, sometimes you get backlash and, \u201cOh, that\u2019s a negative light and da-da-da,\u201d but it\u2019s like, bro, Creeper\u2019s an extension of my father, you know what I\u2019m saying? Like, my godfather was president of a car club for over 30 years. I was always around the positive side of the culture. That\u2019s the steelo though, I mean, that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. It doesn\u2019t always have to be looked in a negative way, you know? It\u2019s a whole culture of people. That\u2019s how we grew up, you know? I\u2019m proud to represent that, you know what I mean? And my experience, the Chicano experience \u2014 my mom\u2019s native, too, so I got a crazy mix. I\u2019m just like all this culture and colors and stuff. And so I\u2019m doing my thing, man.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
