Show notes
Today Rich talks to Leyla Rosario. Leyla is an award winning Producer, Director, and Film Maker from The Bronx. We talk about her Puerto Rican heritage, growing up in New York, and how she first broke into the film and advertising world, where she’s worked with clients like Rolex, Hennesy, Cadillac, and most recently the director Michel Gondry.
She’s also the Executive Producer and Co-Creator of “The Gig”, an online series about Women of Color Producers in the entertainment industry. And we talk about the need for representation behind and in front of the camera, what it MEANS to be a Woman of Color in the Ad Game, and how Leyla was able to bounce back from a recent tragedy.
