    Denise Soler Cox — On Being Latina, Being American And Learning To Choose Yourself

    Denise is the co-founder of Project ñ, a movement that is anchored in the many worlds first-generation Latinx-Americans live in. Throughout our conversation we dive into what it takes to put together a documentary for such a movement and how doing so helped Denise come out of her shell and really learn to tell her story. The episode does an amazing job of putting the cherry on top of a season that has unintentionally always focused on inspiring you to learn to put yourself first.   ---- @vivnunez on Twitter/Instagram Show notes: creatingespacios.co
