And I wanted to have a newsroom where it was like the journalism was 100% researched, fact-checked. But I wanted to create storytelling and journalism that touched people's hearts, right? I wanted to make people feel something. Now, when I reported at many of these networks, I was very clear about the fact that part of my responsibility was to bring these stories into the newsroom.

And what was interesting was that even though I was bringing this kind of new perspective, remember I was the first Latina in these newsrooms, oftentimes what it felt like was fellow journalists saying, oh, you're coming into our newsroom and you have a bias. Because you care about these stories. And I was like, no, I'm just telling you these stories because these are communities that I know.

And you're seeing this as a bias. OK, I pushed ahead and the show Latino USA, which was founded by the founding executive producer, Maria Martin. She tapped me to become the founding anchor of Latino USA. Wow. What a moment.

Well, you fast forward from there to the year 2010. And that's the year when I decided to create Futuro Media. I wanted to... Get Futuro Media to be a place where a show like Latino USA could be housed and grow. Make this into a newsroom for other journalists of conscience like me.

I wanted to create a newsroom with journalism that had a heart, that wasn't afraid to show emotion or actually care for the people that we were covering. It was a journalism with radical transparency, a journalism of conscience, a journalism that was transparent about who we are, where we come from.

And that really stood in the face of this kind of faux objectivity of a lot of traditional newsrooms. It was a journalism where we understood our role in the question of power in the United States of America. So here we are, 15 years later. Oh, my God. The vision of Futuro has absolutely grown.

You know, Latino USA has been on the air for more than 30 years, and it has launched the careers of so many amazing journalists and storytellers. And then... Futuro Media, we created Futuro Studios, right, to grow. We wanted to create a space for beautiful podcast series and audio documentaries, unlike anything else out there. So we created anything for Selena.

We created Loud, the history of reggaeton. Oh my God, La Brega.
