01.28.2022 | By |

This week on episode 170 of the Highly Relevant podcast, I welcome the beloved actress Justina Machado known to many as Penelope Alvarez in the Emmy-nominated hit comedy reboot of “One Day at a Time”.

Our conversation also covered several interesting subjects such as the world’s love for animated films, why Hispanic animated films succeed and real-life Latino films and television shows don’t, and why she stopped using the term Hispanic to describe herself. Catch the video interview on our YouTube channel below. Read More
