We had the good fortune of connecting with Jimmy Palomino and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jimmy, what do you want your legacy to be?
I want my legacy to be about inspiring others to pursue their passions and live authentically. I’ve been creating anime content like skits and interviewing voice actors, while also modeling for streetwear brands across the U.S. I want people to enjoy the content I leave on the internet—because once it’s posted, it’s there forever—and I hope it reflects my journey. Ultimately, I want people to see my growth, creativity, and the way I stayed true to myself, so they feel empowered to chase their own dreams

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?

My art revolves around storytelling through different mediums. I’ve been creating anime-inspired content, including skits and interviews with voice actors, while also pursuing modeling for streetwear brands across the U.S. What sets me apart is how I merge these two worlds—anime culture and fashion—to tell unique stories that resonate with a broad audience. Both anime and streetwear fashion have been a big part of how I express myself, even in how I dress. For example, seeing a fit in an anime like Bleach and then replicating it in real-life streetwear—it’s a creative process that feels amazing to me.

One thing I’m most proud of is the way I’ve built my journey from the ground up. It wasn’t easy to get to where I am today. There were challenges like learning how to stand out in a competitive space, balancing creativity with the pressure to grow, and staying motivated when things got tough. But I overcame those challenges by staying true to my passions, surrounding myself with supportive people, and always being open to learning.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to trust the process and remain consistent. Growth takes time, but every step forward, no matter how small, is progress.

What I want the world to know about my brand and story is that I’m here to inspire. I want to leave a lasting impact through my content, showing people that it’s okay to pursue multiple passions and that their journey matters. Whether it’s through anime skits, interviews, or modeling, I aim to create something that lasts forever and inspires others to do the same..

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend were visiting for a week, I’d create an itinerary that shows them the best of both the local scene and unique experiences. Here’s what I’d plan:

Morning: Grab some Cuban coffee and pastries at Versailles and then spend the morning at South Beach, soaking in the sun.
• Afternoon: Explore Wynwood Walls, an outdoor museum showcasing some of the best street art in the world.

Take a sunset kayak or paddleboarding trip at Oleta River State Park to wind down with nature

Now to add my side to this

Morning: Visit Anime Stores like Multiverse Corps Comics or Pastel Sky Boutique for anime merch and collectibles.
• Afternoon: Have lunch at SuViche, blending sushi and Peruvian ceviche. Then head to The Frost Museum of Science, which has interactive exhibits and a planetarium.
• Evening: Chill with dinner at Sushi Garage, a perfect mix of casual and chic.

Hidden Gems: Explore Books & Books in Coral Gables for local charm or enjoy a sunset picnic at South Pointe Park.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give a big shout-out to my younger brother, Christian. Without him introducing me to making videos and encouraging me to start creating, none of this would have ever happened. Even as my younger brother, he’s been such a huge part of my journey, and I’m always thankful to God for the role he’s played in shaping who I am today.
