Transcript
00:00How does it feel for you to be kind of spearheading that and making sure that representation is
00:04captured in a story like this? Well, you know, I don't know if I'm spearheading it,
00:11because that sounds like a scary word, but I'm really heartened and glad to be a part of the
00:19conversation. I'm someone who has the lived experience of not feeling like she was enough,
00:28you know, there were times in my life where I was told I was not black enough, I was not Latina
00:33enough, and there was a moment in time where I did not know that you could be both, right? Only in my
00:41adulthood did I begin to understand that, because society likes to tell you that it's either or,
00:49and the reality is it's not.
