Janel Martinez - How To Get Paid For Being Yourself

Creating Espacios: Interviews with Self-Made Latinas Who Are Innovating in Their Spaces

In this episode of #CreatingEspacios we talk to Janel Martinez about how to make a profit while still being true to who you are, your culture and your passions. Growing up Afro-Latina, Janel immediately noticed the lack of representation of her identity in the media and so she started “Ain’t I Latina?” — a digital destination to highlight and uplift conversation about Afro-Latinidad in the media, society, and business world. In addition to “Ain’t I Latina,” Janel is also a full-time freelance multimedia journalist and Chief Content Officer at 2020 Shift.
