A producer with BronxNet, commonly seen working the phones behind the scenes, is once again stepping in front of the camera to produce a show for the Latino community.

Nosotros, a new program celebrating the contributions, culture and legacy of the Latino community in the United States, particularly the Bronx, is debuting on BronxNet in October. The program features intimate profiles of amazing people, highlighting their life, struggle and success in the community. The focus will be on distinguished leaders and famous personalities as well as unsung heroes. Nosotros is televised on BronxNet Ch. 67-Optimum and Ch. 33-FiOS, Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m.

“BronxNet has given us the opportunity to make our vision a reality, with a program that showcases some of the most important aspects of our community. This program is dear to my heart, and our team believes in the positive contributions it might bring. By telling the stories of featured individuals, we hope to inspire others to make their dreams come true, said Nosotros Host/Producer Yeila Lluberes.

“We’re proud of Yeila and the entire team producing Nosotros. Although she spoke little English at the time, Yeila came to the Bronx from the Dominican Republic and took a focused approach to educational opportunities. She developed outstanding media skills at BronxNet through our Training Program for Future Media Professionals. As Host/Producer of Nosotros, she is a part of delivering a new TV series that will have a positive impact as it highlights some of the wonderful people working for the benefit of the community,” said BronxNet Executive Director Michael Max Knobbe.

BronxNet is the independent not-for-profit organization serving the people of the Bronx through the provision of media production training, access to technology, and cable television channels.
