I wanna hear gadiel's story too
I know he was in the Navy prior to becoming an Buzzfeed Producer.
Ernireg3 me too! gadiel, Julissa and curly are my favorites.
O good I love me some Gadiel. I will eat his fine self with a spoon
And them there's people like Ned, Devin, and Michelle who went to very prestigious universities and for some reason decided to go to buzzfeed. These stories may not sound heroic and american-dream-ish. But they must have worked very hard during their education too and I'd like to know their stories too :)
Ernireg3 he already does have his story about how he got hired at BuzzFeed, you can watch it on his personal UA-cam channel.
I needed to hear that. You're a force, girl.. and a total ray of sunshine. Thank you for spreading your positivity to the world, for making us laugh, but more importantly, for making us believe. 💕
This gave me some much hope, and reassurance that GOD has a plan for all of us and even if the pieces are not adding up now they will. Thank you for sharing this💛
Nic Leibowitz I agree 💯👌👌 Cheers to dreams, goals, and aspirations becoming reality.❤💙💚
That's a Word!
Currently on my hour break for an 8 hour shift, your words are what I needed to hear. I lost my mother and father and things are tough at the moment but I know the universe will make my life a little better.

Wishing you well.

I really actually needed to see this today
Me too girl
ShamoyaKelly everything works out
Me too!!!
Omggg she is my favorite I love her sooo much
Yo estoy muy orgullosa de ti. It is really hard to see a Dominican girl making it. I used to complain about the lack of representation we have in the media. You are paving the way for a lot of us. Es pa'rriba que vamos!!!!! 👏👏👏❤👏❤👏❤
lamoskgr Moskow Us Dominicans are so under represented, in the entertainment business in this country and the few that do, are not full-blooded Dominicans. We're so much than just being good at baseball and cutting hair. Happy to see people like Julissa finding her way into acting and producing for a major channel like Buzzfeed!
lamoskgr Moskow 🇩🇴👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes! 💖❤️
The only part of buzzfeed i like
true
Jr Jimnzz And Buzz feed unsolved

Jr Jimnzz unsloved is cool
I got fired from my job last week. Thank you. I needed this. 💖💖💖
Iris Lopez how's life now ? ❤
How are you now?
IM READY FOR THE CHISMES
LATINOS!!Im a new youtuber, check out my newest videos i promise you wont be disappointed :) ua-cam.com/video/6Qwp3Vev_tI/v-deo.html
I really love that she was persistent and does what she loves!
i honestly love her, she's one of my favorite people who work at buzzfeed! this made me love her even more.
Get it Girl! Every video i see makes me feel proud to be latina and i wouldn't change it for the world you show they beauty of the different culture and that's amazing
Wow, I'm seriously crying. After a long ass day of self doubt I woke up today and my whole mindset changed. I feel like today I was given so many signs and to end my night even better I came across your video. I needed this. I needed to hear that anything is possible. I'm a young boricua from the bronx, ny and sometimes I feel like it's so hard to make dreams come true when you're from the "hood." So i NEEDED to hear that it is possible to become bigger and better and that I can grow. Thank you so much. I hope you atleast see this and know that your video was appreciated so much ! Wish nothing but more greatness for you ! thanks you hermanita !
Julissa tu me inspiras tanto!! I love pero like and how y'all bring our culture to the light in a way that young & old hispanics can relate..you & Gadiel are my favorites! Alante Alante!! 🇩🇴🇩🇴
Sitting at my desk crying like a baby. Thanks Julissa, not only for the amazing videos, but for the encouragement. Pero Like is the best thing to come out of Buzzfeed and that's because of all of the wonderful creators like you! Keep inspiring us!
I absolutely love all Pero Like videos! You guys rock over there! I love how every Latin culture is represented and how you guys show that even though we are a little different, we're all Latinos!
I would love to hear more Buzzfeed stories like this!
Jullissa is awesome (don't know if I spelled that right )
Ang The Vaporeon Julissa
This video was so genuine! Ahhh Im glad to see your journey progress and can't wait to see what else you guys will throw out soon!
This makes me so happy! I'm Dominican and I just landed a job at a big hospital. I'm the only Dominican/latina in my department so it makes me so happy to see other Dominicans/latinos leading the charge in their industries and bringing our stories and ourselves into spaces where there are, unfortunately, not many of us. I'm so happy you guys started Pero Like at BuzzFeed!
This had me in tears, your story is so wonderful and I'm so happy you could be recognized for all you've done. You're down to earth and a true representation of faith and resilience! Thank you so much for being someone I can really look up to!
Ugh. This was %1000 what I needed to hear. I recently got a bit discouraged that goals and dreams weren’t happening. This was exactly what I needed to boost my motivation to keep going. Julissa, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for this this encouragement. Imma keep going, imma keep grinding. Till I’m there.
Don't give up! Dreams are not only meant to be wished, with hard work and a little luck they are meant to come true! Pa'lante!
Girl, you don't know how much this just helped me. I want to be a journalist so badly and am going to college for it right now. But lately I've been struggling and just felt so lost and hopeless. You just renewed my faith y mis ganas! Thanks so much! 🙏🏽💕
After seeing this on Buzzfeed, I've now watched a dozen of your skits and you are so talented! I am not Spanish but that doesn't stop me from enjoying your performances with or without subtitles. You're that good! All the best and continued success!
O-M-GOSH! I’m experiencing the SAME THING, NOW! I’m so happy that I came across this video! And WE FROM THE SAME CITY! 🙌🏾 I was let nearly two months ago and to be completely transparent... I knew that I should’ve left [8] months before that. However, I stayed because I was fearful of possibly not having a steady paycheck and failing miserably at trying to establish a career. In a situation like this, my default position would be to quickly find another job to fill in the income gap. After having experienced “dime-a-dozen-jobs” (or jobs that you can get very easily) and staying only to get comfortable and to have vibrancy of my spirit and soul dulled for procrastinating in embracing my destiny, I’m more motivated than EVER to have the career I truly desire! I’m now putting my degree to use and making a difference in the lives of the next generation! Thank you Julissa, for this! This is the confirmation that I needed! 😬😘
Can I just say how much this video helped me with my struggles I’m going through. She honestly just has so much positivity that I could feel it rubbing off on me! Thank you julissa and pero like!
Almost made me cry at the end!! Nothing motivates me more than seeing my fellow Latinos work hard and be recognized for their talent. Our community is so amazing, and I look up to creators like you who strive to be a voice for us.
I love her so much ❤️
This. This is the video that should have gone viral. Julissa, congratulations. God bless you and may he continue to be with you. You're paving the way for many hispanic/latina women. As an aspiring writer whom was stuck in the leasing industry for 3 1/2 years, I am driven to continue my passion, thanks to your words. Keep going girly. Love and peace to you 💕
I'm so glad she passed he interview thingy because she is SUPER SUPER funny and when I have my bad days.. just go to "Pero like" and watch some videos.
This my boo right here! She's honestly one of the best people on the channel and all her ideas and all the times she acts, honestly always impresses me.
What an amazing story.After hearing how Pero Like started from the bottom and now to the top I now believe that dreams happen.Keep up the good work guys.Hope my dreams come true;my dreams are big and I am starting to brainstorm and make a plan on how to start.
Everyone reading this have a wonderful day and never give up 😁
I am so proud of you! People say they want their dreams to happen all the time but rarely do people actually work so hard and uproot their entire lives to do it.
I needed this! I've been stuck trying to find myself after college. I just graduated and it's been tough but I really appreciate you making this. You've inspired me! 💕
I usually never comment on videos but here goes nothing... I have nothing to say other than this is ABSOLUTELY TRUE! I have worked so hard all my life to be able to study in the U.S. and I'm finally fulfilling that dream! Little 8 year old me would've been proud. All it takes is believing in yourself and HARD WORK. You'll end up where you're supposed to. If not, it wasn't meant for you and it actually was a blessing in disguise. Thanks Julissa for reminding me of that.
From a proud Dominican to another.
Thank you sooo much for this! Such a beautiful + inspirational video ❤ Keep inspiring hon
I LOVE Julissa. She is such a real person!! She never holds back her true feelings. Her big personality is the best!!!
Que bonito mensaje de superación de una hermosa mujer :)
You are definitely one of the main reasons why I watch this channel. You just have such a "chispa" and "tigueraje" that is contagious lol. I look forward to seeing you in many more videos to come! P.S. It would be very cool if all the PERO LIKE cast shared their journeys!
I wish UA-cam had a love button. This is so awesome and encouraging! Thanks for sharing your story and for sticking out all the hard stuff.
Inspirational ! Te amo mi reina ❤🇩🇴
Thank you so much for this. You have no idea how much this helps. I am also a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. Thank you for continuing to remind me that even at the darkest of times always have faith, and know that your struggles shape you in becoming a better and stronger person.
Cuando perdi mi hijo el año pasado, I honestly didn't know what would come of it. But with time, I felt all of this pure, good energy. I decided to just continue to give kindness and be good to others and though I still have that sadness with me, la vida sigue ser una vida buena, soy feliz. Thanks for sharing this video and message! Pide a Dios que te sigue bendiciendo!
I’m so proud of each and every one of you. I love this channel so much because it not only shows me to be my Latina self. But to be myself. All of you guys make me so happy and this channel is the best thing ever❤️ It makes you feel happy yet to be proud of who you are. I’m so thankful for each and every one of you guys I love you guys!❤️😊
Tonight out of all nights ! Omg I needed this right now at this very moment. You're definitely an inspiration to all. Thank you 😊
This is the video I needed in this moment. Life keeps getting me down with the ever ending interviews. Thanks for starting the fuse I needed to start getting it up!
One of, if not my favorite person on the buzzfeed videos. So pretty and bubbly. So happy she's happy in what's she's doing. Kudos to her 👏🙌❤️
Yo... this testimony have me in tearz bruh😭😭😭❣️ I’m so happy that you were blessed with the opportunity for pero like 🙏🏽❤️

BY LANGSTON HUGHES
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore-
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over-
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
*Never allow your dreams to defer you guys! Believe in yourself and push forward.*
Maritza yeeeeess Raisin in the sun is a true inspiration. Read a fragment in 10 grade. It captures what dreams can and can't be.
Why am I crying !! I love her and her personality!! How empowering!
Julissa It was great hearing your story as I am currently no longer at my job and struggling to find a better way for myself . Your story was touching and very inspirational. God bless you and may your success take you as far as possible.
Who put the thumbs down?!? This is so inspiring and heartfelt. People see the success but not the story! Keep living your dreams and beyond! I'm happy for you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You are amazing!! Every time I see a video where you come out I think you are going to make it big because you have so much energy. Love you girl!! 💓💓
Everything in the universe happens for a reason! Julissa is honestly one of my favorite personalities on UA-cam and I know I'll always be smiling from ear to ear when I watch her videos :)
A little while ago I thought I had a job in the bag. I was so sure I was the right person and then they called me to say I didn't get it.
This video reminded me that maybe that just wasn't the right place for me to be and that life is, as you said, pushing me in the right direction.
Thank you!
Thank you for this! Really proud of you and the rest of the pero like crew! Needed to hear this!
oh my goodness this makes me sooo happy !! i’m so proud of youuuu!!
Preach girl! You spread nothing but positivity and hope for those, including myself, that sometimes just want to give up on what we want in life. thank you
i always go back to this video whenever i’m in doubt. hearing julissa’s story always makes me believe in myself and my dreams. 💞💞
You are so inspirational and amazing. Last year was bad for me and right before the end of the year I found out that I was accepted into a program called Peace Corps. I will be leaving for the East Caribbean in July to become a teacher. I have other goals I want to reach and need to start speaking positivity into my life and acting on it.
Julissa, hearing you and seeing you in that video of fear in your face really turns things around for me and my mind set keep going! Thanks for the inspiration chika!
I LOVE THIS! I love your positivity and your persistence to achieve your goals! Definitely inspirational.
Julissa, I'm so happy for you! I still remember the first video I've ever seen you in. Straight up comedy!!! I've been an avid Pero watcher ever since which is kinda strange since I don't understand any Spanish. Anyway, I admire your strong believe and your perseverance!!! Stay blessed!
This video was just what I needed right now. Thank you so much! You don't know how much your words mean to me!
This inspires me because I have a dream of becoming a content producer like you. I felt discouraged because I didn't feel like i was good enough, but your story is what is giving me courage to pursue that dream. Thank you for sharing your story with us!
Julissa is my absolute favorite! I'm glad she made this video, I feel like it's something a lot of us need to hear :)
Yes! I'm so proud and excited how all this turned out for you! You are truly an inspiration for me as a Latina to keep moving forward and keeping faith. You are the role model that I aspire to be!
Gracias! I really needed this you have no idea
I'm not one to get teary eye, but man this got me. Keep up the good work and always look forwards to your videos.
And I’m so glad you “made it”. To think we would have never known, seen, heard and enjoyed such a beautiful, positive and hilarious personality on our screens. You literally give us all life❤️
OH my god during the whole video I was thinking about Paulo Coelho and his book "The Alchemist", and at the end you put a quote from it!
I got teary eyes! I'm so happy and inspired by you, keep on being awesome compatriota 🇩🇴
This just made me so emotional, I feel like I needed this. Thank you so much!
Can I just say that your video is the most amazing thing I've seen this year. Mi negra bella, you just made my day, my month, my year and I'm gonna tell you why: I'm Venezuelan, living in Caracas; that can tell you a lot. However, besides the horrofying situation that mi bella Venezuela is going through, I don't have a place of my own, I'm 42 and trying to finish college (journalism, specialazing as a PR), and the list goes on and on... Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know that your video, tears and words me cayeron del cielo. Un trillón de besos, negrita bella. Espero que sigas cosechando éxitos para ti y los tuyos, y que sigas inspirando y alimentando nuestras esperanzas y buen humor a través de los videos de Pero Like. Blessings and love foe the the whole Pero Like family.
Damn her journal note on October 12 is my birthday I got mad chills this is so inspirational much love Julissa💗
Its 2018 I needed to hear that, my name is also Julissa and Im dominican too, the difference is I live on DR, I´ve always dreamed with being an actress and I had given up until last year when I started taking classes, I hope this is my year, the begining of my acting career, wish me luck(sorry for the ad english)
So I’m crying thank you, right now I’m going through a lot and I’m glad u said and reminded me that as long as I hold on strong to my faith all will work itself out and in the end I will been on the path I need to be on
I'm very ambicious and I like constant change. I've been feeling stuck and frustrated lately, and this definitely cheered me up. Thank you. And yes, I love you and all your characters. :) hugs from PR
Thank you so much this. It 2:30 in the morning and I am actively working on my life. This positive video is what I needed.
Back to the drawing board!
Awww mija! This made me cry !! I can totally relate being let go from a job and having faith that the universe would MAKE SHIT WORK !!
YAAAAAS QUEEEEN!!! I now like and admire you even more!!♥️👸🏽 And I sorta of needed it in my life right now, so thank you very much!!💋💋
“Remain faithful. Sometimes it’s all we have, but it’s always all we need.” ❤️

Julissa - you have no idea how much I needed to see this video at this moment. Thank you and stay tuned...

JULISSA THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION AND YOU TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED AND NEEDED TO HEAR.
WOW! 🤯 I didn’t even see the part about this all happening in 1 year!!
