How I Met Your Father star Francia Raísa joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss her life-changing act of kindness to Selena Gomez, paying it forward with her new Modelo partnership and much more. Also, today is Earth Day - please be kind to the earth!
FRANCIA RAISA recently starred in the hit Hulu sitcom HOW I MET YOUR FATHER which ran for 2 seasons. As an entrepreneur, Raisa shared her family salsa recipe with the world in partnership with the La Victoria brand which had a limited run before selling out in Fall of 2023. She can also be seen as ‘Ana Torres,’ a first-generation Cuban-American and roommate to Yara Shahidi’s ‘Zoey Johnson,’ on Freeform’s GROWN-ISH, the BLACK-ISH spinoff. Francia has come a long way from her first role as young cheerleader ‘Leti’ in the film BRING IT ON: ALL OR NOTHING. Continuing the development of her acting prowess in projects such as THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER and Netflix’s DEAR WHITE PEOPLE, she’s been primed to tackle all that is ahead of her. In between roles that have won her awards such as a Gracie Award and La Femme Film Festival Rising Star, and nominations for Teen Choice, IMAGEN and an ALMA, Raisa is dedicated to assisting organizations dear to her heart like Unlikely Heroes, whose mission is to provide safe homes and restoration to victims of sex trafficking worldwide. Born and raised in Southern California, bi-lingual Raisa is of Honduran and Mexican decent.
Modelo has partnered with Francia to celebrate the launch and expansion of Modelo Spiked Aguas Frescas, a line of vibrant, spiked, flavored malt beverages expanding to new markets across the country – and for the second year in a row, Modelo pays homage to the street vendors that helped inspire it and keep the beloved Mexican street drink tradition alive.
