Our History

Yanga Talent was born in 2020. It all began with a vision to transform the entertainment industry to convey more authentic stories within an empowering and respectful framework.

Our name honors Gaspar Yanga, a symbol of resistance in Mexico and Latin America, who bravely fought for freedom and stood against racism. We chose the name Yanga to embody a spirit of unity and dignity, as we are committed to championing diverse voices in this industry.

At Yanga, we understand that true beauty lives at the heart of every human experience, in the value of every story, and in the uniqueness of every person.
We let differences unite us and enrich our own journeys. We see people as a revelation, as a universe that broadens our perspectives and helps us learn and evolve.

Authenticity

We value honesty and originality in everything we do, striving to connect with the genuine and the real.

Diversity

We believe diversity is an engine for growth, embracing all backgrounds, voices, and perspectives.

Respect

We foster a culture where everyone feels safe, heard, and valued, regardless of age, origin, or identity.
