Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Los Angeles, April 11 (NationPress) Hollywood icon Eva Longoria, who has achieved remarkable success in the film industry, is now channeling her energy into different passions.
"My life’s mission has revolved around entrepreneurship, particularly focusing on women and Latinas through my foundation," Longoria shared with Extra!
The talented actress finds joy in motivating her son, Santi, by showcasing her accomplishments both in front of and behind the camera, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
She recounted a moment with her son, saying: "Every day, he asks, ‘Why did you have to leave at 5 a.m. and come home at 6?’ I explained, ‘Mommy’s pursuing her dream.’ Once he understood that, he responded, ‘Oh, are you going to your dream today?’"
Longoria is embarking on a new culinary journey with her latest CNN food show, Searching for France. A self-proclaimed Francophile, she enjoys the creative process of producing television shows.
She expressed her excitement, stating: "It’s a blast because I get to savor food and drinks across different countries. I explored Mexico, traveled through Spain, and now I'm delving into France. Being a Francophile and fluent in French, I persuaded CNN to allow me to showcase France, and they agreed!"
Moreover, Longoria previously mentioned that the influential women in her life have significantly contributed to her success.
In her words, "So many remarkable women have been my guides. With nine aunts, three sisters, and 18 female cousins, I was fortunate to be surrounded by intelligent, independent, and accomplished women."
Longoria has always had a clear vision for her career and never doubted her potential for success.
She affirmed: "I didn’t need to look far to see the woman I aspired to be. I thought, ‘Oh, I’m going to emulate my sisters or my mother.’"
This upbringing instilled in her the belief that she would be successful. While she wasn’t sure of her career path—whether as a dentist or a lawyer—she was confident in her future success, inspired by her community.
Now, Longoria aims to empower women who share similar aspirations.
She remarked: "Being an entrepreneur is one of the most challenging and courageous endeavors. Every entrepreneur encounters moments where they yearn for someone who genuinely understands the burden of what they are building."
