Breaking Barriers in Media: Ana Cruz Hollingsworth on Amplifying Latina Voices

In this episode, we sit down with Ana Cruz Hollingsworth, founder of Rollos de Mujeres Media. Ana takes us into her journey, growing up in Mexico in a challenging environment and building a successful career in U.S. media. She shares what it was like navigating language barriers, cultural differences, and the reality of being the only woman in male-dominated spaces. Ana created Rollos of Mujeres Media as a space to uplift women's voices, share resources, and spark honest conversations. She opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship, negotiating pay, pushing back against misconceptions, and understanding that true success takes time, effort, and resilience. Through it all, she reminds us, amiga to amiga, that leadership starts with owning your story, embracing your values, and recognizing the power you already carry.
