6. Writing Your Own Story (In Two Languages) with Jade Cintrón Báez

This week's guest on Being All of Us, Jade Cintrón Báez, embodies a lot of what we try to do on this podcast as she embraces all sides of who she is. She tells me how she grew into her full identity as an "Americubaricuan", how she started her Youtube show, ¡Looking Bilingüe!, what it was like to be a Latina in Spain, and how she learned to trust herself and take control of her script and her story.

Challenge of the Week: In order to move toward your dreams, here are three questions to answer: 

• 1. What are you reaching for? (the dream) 
  2. What’s in your tool box? (your talents)
