He is currently VP of Multicultural Development & Strategy for the Los Angeles Times. Uriel Saenz has taken his work around the world, was selected featured American Designer in China and has been a participant of Mercedes- Benz fashion week.

He talks about his role as a single father to a daughter, who is now a young adult, and gives us a humble and vulnerable account of a recent experience he is living as a parent. This is an important episode to listen to. Trigger Warning We discuss domestic violence.
