Alexia Echevarria

Stunning and business savvy, Alexia Echevarria made her return to primetime television with the highly anticipated return of The Real Housewives of Miami. The Cuban bombshell was joined by fan favorites Lisa Hochstein and Larsa Pippen along with newcomers Guerdy Abraira, Julia Lemigova, and Dr. Nicole Martin. Adriana De Moura, Kiki Barth and Marysol Patton returned as friends of the Housewives. The Real Housewives of Miami Reunion Part 1 premieres exclusively on Peacock Thursday, March 3rd.

Alexia’s tagline did not fall short this season as viewers watched the ups and downs of her life to date. From the passing of her mother to her engagement to real estate investor Todd Nepola and new business, Alexia has managed to keep her head held high through it all.

Alexia embraced new beginnings with her fiancée Todd and her budding beauty salon business venture. This season dived right into the secrets and lies of her past marriage as she juggles an engagement and booming business. Alexia is the owner of Alexia + Frankie’s Beauty Bar in Miami. In addition to nail services, she expanded the business to include lashes application, spray tans, and blowouts and calls the spa her “little haven” that gives her life purpose.

Alexia holds the pulse of Miami’s Latin culture and loves to spend time at her Miami Beach home and admits she is, at times, more of an older sister to her two sons, Peter and Frankie. When she isn’t running the beauty bar, the “Cuban Barbie” stays active with cardio and yoga but loves to give back to the community through her philanthropic endeavors.

Arlyn Broche

Breakout star and stunning Cuban beauty Arlyn Broche will take Hollywood by storm in the highly anticipated Season 2 of NBC’s “Young Rock,” premiering March 15th. Broche has been penned for 6 of the 12 episodes in the season, starring as Dany Garcia, the woman behind the iconic Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Audiences will recognize Arlyn from her role in Season 2 of HBO’s “Ballers” also alongside Dwayne Johnson.

Dubbed “La Broche,” by her Latin following, she is quickly becoming the newest Latina to take over Hollywood. Both on and off the screen, she is representing Latinas everywhere as the new VP of Content for Areu Bros. Studios, the largest Latin studio in the United States.

One thing is for certain, Arlyn Broche has a bright future ahead and exciting projects planned for 2022.

As the daughter of Cuban immigrants, the Miami native had acting in her blood, quite literally. Her father was a very successful television, film and theatre actor in Cuba, Arlyn was destined to follow in his footsteps and from an early age envisioned herself to become a successful Hollywood actress. For political reasons the family had to flee the country in the Mariel boat lift with Arlyn’s two older siblings.

A gifted and creative child, at 9 years old, she was cast as Shakespeare’s ‘Juliet,’ later chosen to recite Jose Marti’s famous poem ‘Cultivo una Rosa Blanca’ at a Spanish Heritage Festival and subsequently cast in different roles, none too small, so long as they allowed her the opportunity to continue to express her passion for the arts. Arlyn went on to play different roles in her personal and professional life, including the role of young wife, mother of three kids and entrepreneur.

After graduating from G Holmes Braddock High School, she went on to attend Florida International University to major in business. Simultaneously, she was managing a family bakery with her high school sweetheart turned husband and gave birth to her first child. The young wife and mother at only 19-years-old proved she could handle lots of responsibility. One thing led to another and she decided to change her major to health care administration, and became the sole owner and administrator of a health care company. But, no matter what life threw at Arlyn, she never abandoned her dream of pursuing a career as an actress.

Even while managing her business, she auditioned and was accepted into the FIU Theatre program, while also being mentored and trained privately by Crystina Wyler, Lori Wyman, Marc Macauley, Marjorie W. Morhaim and Jeanett Hopkins, among others.

When she isn’t on set or at an audition, Arlyn loves spending time with her husband, Osvaldo and their three children: Victoria, Justin and Sophia.

Jill-Michele Meleán

Jilly was/is honored to be the first Latina Cast Member on FOX’s “MadTV”.  She recurred on Comedy Central’s “Reno 911” and has guest starred in a variety of shows onscreen and off.  

When the youtube rush of stars hit, Jilly took action to write/produce a feature film based on her story of having to work for a much younger internet sensation and her unique L.A friendships in “This is Meg”.  That film got picked up by HULU and is now streaming on Amazon Prime.   She also produced her one hour stand up special “White/Latina” that Comedy Dynamics acquired and is streaming on itunes, Spotify, On Demand, Amazon Prime, Dish, Spectrum and Google play.  

After the success of these indie projects, she teamed up with her good friend/colleague Carlos Alazraqui to write/produce and star in a comedy/horror feature film “Witness Infection” acquired by “Freestyle Media” that is available now for streaming on Amazon, iTunes, GooglePlay and most VOD platforms.
