What this episode covers
Lisette’s Take: “I think about art and creativity, and artists having exclamation points in a lot of our lives. When I was introduced to her, it was an exclamation point. And when I saw her work, I knew I had to know her. I took tons of people to the gallery to see her work: it is inspiring, it moves me on a deep personal level, and I also feel it's a recognition of a lot of the underrepresented, ignored pieces of us, for me as a Puerto Rican woman.” To hear all episodes and learn more about Lisette Nieves, visit Lisette-Nieves.com
