Podcasts about girl who decided

In this episode, we discuss a woman whose career has spanned 70 plus years, and doesn't seem to be slowing down: Rita Moreno. We dive into how she got where she is and how she stayed there despite the rampant racism and sexism found in Hollywood. We let Rita speak in her own words about her motivations, and what success means to her and look at how others, both within and beyond the Puerto Rican community, see her. Finally we fangirl over her lengthy accomplishments and her influence on the entertainment industry.
