In this episode of #CreatingEspacios we talk to Janel Martinez about how to make a profit while still being true to who you are, your culture and your passions. Growing up Afro-Latina, Janel immediately noticed the lack of representation of her identity in the media and so she started “Ain’t I Latina?” — a digital destination to highlight and uplift conversation about Afro-Latinidad in the media, society, and business world.
