208 - Being an Artist and Listening to Your Inner Voice with Juliet Menéndez
Listeners, we're back this week with Juliet Menéndez
Juliet Menéndez is a Guatemalan American author and illustrator living between Guatemala City, Paris, and New York. While working as a bilingual teacher in New York City’s public schools, Juliet noted the need for more books that depicted children like the ones in her classrooms. She studied design and illustration in Paris and now spends her days with her watercolors and notebook. Latinitas is her first children's book.
During our conversation, we talked about:
Heritage and identity
Growing up moving between countries
Non-linear career and listening to your inner voice
Having a career in art and finding your style
Being an illustrator
Her book Latinitas and how the project evolved.
I love her mission of elevating Latina voices
