What's good my peeps! For episode 72 I had the honor of interviewing singer, songwriter, poet, and actress Laura Mena. Coming all the way from Denmark Laura and I discuss her love for music at the age of 8 and the childhood the struggles she had to face, overcome in Denmark being Danish and Afro Cuban. Laura shares why representation matters so much, and shares with me why she wants to be a role model and advocate for people who faced the same challenges she had to. Artist like Kehlani and Alicia Keys inspired her to be on this path. Growing up around music and being inspired by her dad who's a musician Laura and I discuss her passion for music and acting growing up. We dive deep into her new EP coming out on her birthday November 4 called "Only Four" and what the world can expect from it. #singer #songwriter #poet
