I am giving a talk on Monday about favorite people in my family. Does this sentence make sense? Presento mis personas favoritas. Sassy

Usually the format is: [person being introduced] presento a [person to whom you are making the introduction].

E.g. Me presentó a sus padres. He presented me to his fathers.

So I would have to say no, I don't think so. Sorry!

Matt, a small typo here: shouldn't that be a mis (not sus ) padres? = to my fathers - FELIZ77, Apr 5, 2014
Yup, you are right... I did that quickly. - mattvd, Apr 5, 2014

I agree with Mattvd that without the people physically being there with you it would sound strange to use presentar.

I would say something like: Mis favoritos de mi familia son ...............

Les (if it a group of people) presento a mis personas favoritas.
