Meet Daniela Ayuso Latinx Like Me

I had a great time connecting with my fellow bookworm, Daniela Ayuso. A native New Yorker with family roots in Ecuador and Puerto Rico, she opened my eyes to two cultures I hadn’t really been exposed to before. Of course food is a major topic, the ceviche comparison was quite unique. But Daniela also shares her touching experience visiting Ecuador with her grandmother and getting to see her family history up close. We talk about her finding her footing in the publishing industry and how diversity and inclusivity are being addressed. And don’t worry, we have some solid book recommendations for you, too.
