Ep. 5: In this episode, I sat down with the sweet Vicky Nonnon, a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin who is currently in San Antonio, Texas. Vicky discusses her social media anxiety she faced prior to quarantine that she ultimately overcome by creating content and being vulnerable on TikTok and Instagram. Today, she is building a community around her social content and even receiving brand deals as a microinfluencer. She shares her top tips for capturing the best photo, inserting yourself into online communities, and of course, becoming a microinfluencer.

Ep. 4: Meet Malika Sloan, 23-year-old millennial badass killing it in New York City as a medical aesthetician. Four and a half years ago, Malika pursued her biggest dream of moving from small town, Texas to New York City just five days after her high school graduation. The city chewed her up and spit her out the first few years. She opens up about struggling with depression, anxiety, and loneliness while working as a receptionist at a waxing center during the day and attending school at night. Fast forward to 2020, she finally has a solid girl squad, lives in a studio apartment in downtown Brooklyn, and works at the prestigious Tribeca MedSpa. She shares her experience attending NY fashion weeks and even meeting Bella Hadid at Cannes Film Festival. You can keep up with Malika on Instagram @malikasloan, and stay updated with The Bold Ambition podcast at @theboldambition.

Ep. 3: Today, we're joined by the charismatic and bold Nere Denisse Sanchez. Born in Los Angeles, CA but raised in Oaxaca, Mexico, Nere and her family moved to Indiana to pursue the American dream. She stayed for a year before moving back to Oaxaca to complete her high school education, but during a family visit to Austin, she fell in love with the growing music capital of the world and decided to make it her home. Along the way, Nere has learned to embrace her bicultural identity while confidently taking up space that is rightfully hers. "Be all the things," is her mantra, and even I have adapted that into my own life. She also explains why she started her own Latina bookclub and how it's changing her and other Latinas' lives.

Ep 2: In this episode, we talk all things bad bitch with the baddest bitch I know, Amira Najar. Amira was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Her strict upbringing led her to the University of Texas at Austin where she double majored in Economics and International Relations with a minor in Latin American Studies. Upon graduation, Amira flew to Seattle, Washington to begin her career at tech giant, Microsoft. Along the way, Amira struggled with confidence and imposter syndrome, but today, she's a confident Latina killing it in Corporate America and inspiring women to do the same.
