There are countless examples of how she’s used her platform and career to help amplify underrepresented voices. Tune in to hear her story - including how she ended up producing one of the world’s top radio shows for two decades, how she convinced MAC Cosmetics to launch a Selena Quintanilla makeup collab, and how a tragic house fire helped fund her bilingual publishing company Lil’ Libros.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
