In this out-of-this-world episode of In Our Own World, we take a journey through memories, emotions, and cosmic wisdom with a special guest who’s no stranger to the spotlight. Becky G sits down with her real-life friends, our beloved Space Commanders, Em and Gem—and what unfolds is nothing short of magical.

From iconic first impressions and what they had to do with a Selena bustier, to the nerves that still sneak in before she hits the stage, Becky G gets raw and real. She shares a heartfelt message to her younger self, her honest definition of love, breaks down the deeply personal layers behind her latest albums, and sheds light on how she stays rooted while navigating the chaos of stardom. No filter, no front.

Things get unhinged when Becky G takes on a ridiculous accent challenge—while reading her own quotes. Southern belle? Check. Shakespearean actor? Check. It’s high art, really. Consider yourself warned.

This is Becky G unplugged, unfiltered, and completely unforgettable.

Tune in for big laughter, true vulnerability, and major inspo—this episode is a time capsule on friendship and a reminder that even the brightest stars are still human. 

Featuring: Becky G, Emily Estefan, Gemeny Hernandez

We sit down with legendary celebrity photographer Johnny Nuñez to uncover his incredible story of resilience, faith, and destiny. Adopted as a toddler by a Puerto Rican family in Brooklyn, Johnny’s life took a heartbreaking turn when his adopted mother passed away when he was just 10 years old, leading him to a second home in Brentwood, Long Island with a Dominican Family.

His journey was anything but easy—experiencing homelessness as a college student, even sleeping in his car. But just as he was on the verge of taking the wrong path, a divine encounter changed everything, leading him to pick up his first camera instead of turning to the streets.

Fast forward, and Johnny has cemented himself as one of the most sought-after celebrity photographers in the world, working as the personal photographer for Naomi Campbell, Jay-Z, The Obamas, and Michael Jordan, while also capturing icons like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Drake.

Now, as a husband to a doctor and a proud father of two, Johnny reflects on his incredible 29 year journey, the power of faith, and how a camera became his ticket to a life beyond his wildest dreams.
