Welcome back to Latina to Latina.

On this podcast, I talk with Latinas about how they got to be so amazing.

I was about 12 years old when the first edition of Latina hit newsstands in 1996,

and I remember feeling like we, Latinas, had arrived.

door, I'm reminded how lucky I am to have Christy's undivided attention.

Thank you for having us here in your office at CAA. You have movie posters, but the thing I am most

curious about is who that little girl on that poster is. That is me when I was about four or five
