14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: who you are because I have info on you, but

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: I want you to introduce yourself to listeners. Hi. I'm

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: an l A Native, but I have a Mexican parents,

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: so I'm Mexican American. I'm a hundred percent Latina and American.

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: I've been a journalist for over thirty years. I'm a

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: fourth time Emmy Award winning journalist, and I'm also an entrepreneur.

20
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm a mom of two, and I'm very very happy

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: to be here because I am a podcast junkie. I

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: listened to podcasts seven I go to sleep listening to podcasts,

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 1: So this is my thing. So you have a career

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: in media already because of your journalism. At what point

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: did you decide I want to not just be a

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: podcast junkie. I want to be someone making podcasts and

27
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: using that avenue for my unique voice. What inspired that, Well,

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: it wasn't a decision that I took lightly because I

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: am in media and I know all the work that

30
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: it takes to produce a podcast. It may seem easy

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: when you're listening to podcast, but I know that it

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: takes a lot of production. It takes a lot of reproduction.

33
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Once you hear the finished product, do you think that

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: it just kind of magically happened, But there's a team

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: behind it. So the reason that I dove into this

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: is because I listened to the promo for this contest

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: on the radio, and I had been pulling around with

38
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: the idea of doing a podcast. But I think when

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: I listened to the promotion for this particular contest, that

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: was kind of like a sign for me. Like, Okay,

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. I know that it's going to

42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: take a lot of work, So I just made the

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: mental decision that if I won the contest, that I

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: would be ready to take on the work that it

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: takes to produce a wonderful podcast. Speaking of wonderful podcasts,

46
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: will you tell us a little bit about the show

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: that you're developing. Yes, it's called Latina's Take the Lead,

48
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: and basically it's about all things Latina. Um. You know,

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: we are not a monolith. We're not just all about

50
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: culture or all about food or all about music. Latinas

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: we we love to talk about finances, we love to

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: talk about generational wealth, we love to talk about mental health,

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: we love to talk about all of these complaint topics

54
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: with our own twists. Right, So my podcast is going

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: to touch upon all the different things that Latinas talk about,

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: but obviously through our lens, through the Latino lens, which

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: is which is very specific. Like I mentioned, we're dred

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: percent Latina and a percent Americans, so we're two dred

59
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: percenters and every topic that you could think of, we

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: look at it through the Latino lens. And that's how

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to approach my podcast. So how does it

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: feel to be selected by Seneca Women to hear as

63
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: part of this project Because you get to be when

64
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: you're in the inaugural class, and two you get to

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: really be a person that is driving listeners to hear

66
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: these unique stories in a new way. It's so reaffirming

67
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: and it feels so good to know that organizations like Seneca,

68
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: like I Heart Radio, like Tongo, who was one of

69
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: the partners in this endeavor, UM really put their money

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: where their mouth is, right. It really like Wow, these

71
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: these organizations really know the importance of amplifying voices that

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: are underrepresented, that need a platform, and we do need

73
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: the support. We do need people and organizations that have

74
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: access and have the power and have the platforms to

75
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: give us UM, you know, an opportunity to shine. And

76
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: it really it really touched my heart a lot, because

77
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: even though I've been in media for over thirty years,

78
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: it's still difficult to to break through and to get

79
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: attention from you know, big platforms like I Heart Radio.

80
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: So when I was selected, I just felt like, Wow,

00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: the these organizations are really um doing amazing work to

82
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,039
