Welcome to Season 2 of the MíraLA Podcast! We’re kicking off with professional footballer Sky Rodríguez.

Sky Rodríguez is a professional footballer who plays for Cruz Azul Femenil in Liga MX Femenil and proudly represents the Puerto Rico Women’s National Team. As one of the rising voices in women’s football, she embodies resilience, identity, and community both on and off the pitch.

In this episode, Arianna sits down with Sky to talk about her journey in professional sports, balancing identity, mental health, and visibility as a Latina athlete, and the importance of creating space for women in sports.
