The Grammy-award winning artist, half of the Mexican sibling pop duo Jesse & Joy, is taking on a new role: as co-composer and lyricist for the Broadway musical Real Women Have Curves. Joy shares how music “literally saved her life,” the complexity of being raised by a machismo father who wanted her to be independent, and reflects on the curves life has thrown her way (early professional success, a wife, two babies, and now, a chance to be the first Mexican composer of a Broadway show in over 40 years!).

The latest episode of a former Trump official who will be voting for Holocaust Harris is a perfect example of the absolute abysmal state of Latinx media. No critical thinking, just Trump bad, Harris good. Harris, who has vowed to continue to build Trump’s border wall, Harris of the Biden-Harris administration who continues to imprison immigrants, Harris who has abandoned DACA and Dreamers to appeal to the right.
