Getting in touch with her Latin roots…

"I’m definitely very connected to being a Latina female, especially in this business.

Every Friday we have rice and beans and chicken and we eat together and we laugh together, and it’s honestly my favorite day of the week just because I look forward to spending time with them — and of course, the food."
