This Monday @4:20, Ramon and Vlad go straight to the Boulevard with Maria Hinojosa, anchor & executive producer for NPRβs Latino USA and author of βOnce I Was You,β to take us through her journey from Mexico to being the first Latinx journalist in a CNN newsroom.

She discusses the need for positive representation of the Latinx community in media and talks about how she founded The Futuro Media Group to bring awareness to stories that affect communities of color.

She also has a chance to reflect on some of her experiences adjusting to the States and how she sees herself in the current stories of people going through the immigration process. And of course we get into Maria’s adventures with the cannabis plant, as she comes out of the Weed closet in her newest book βOnce I Was You.β
