  • +1 RT @lorrainecladish @Candypo @marieladabbah I've learned everything in my life on the job. Mistakes R wonderful stepping stone! #belatino #
  • sometimes int'l biz calls were in Spanish & mine is terrible :) RT @marieladabbah @dcap Why like an odd ball? #belatino in reply to marieladabbah #
  • Working @ MTV Tr3s taught me there R many different forms of Latino identity & mine is just as valid. Many gradations on spectrum #belatino #
  • When I worked @ MTV Tr3s in 2010 was my 1st time working w mostly Latino colleagues. I felt like an odd ball + also enjoyed it :) #BeLatino #
  • I support my community but I don't let their labels and boxes keep me from my own goals. To each his/her own. #BeLatino #
  • In career/personal life I don't wrry about pleasing Latino community. As a Latina, I do wht what I'm passionate about,life unfolds #BeLatino #
  • I am juggling both a traditional job, running my own (new) business and pro-social projects. Time management is huge for me. #BeLatino #
  • .@ProducerMatthew You did a fab job, thanks. #wjchat cc @wjchat in reply to ProducerMatthew #
  • .@nsandlin Thanks! Nice to meet you :) in reply to nsandlin #
  • .@nsandlin yes, knowing when laser focus=appropriate is important. but some ppl fear multitasking, so they miss out on opportunities #wjchat in reply to nsandlin #
  • Last protip: Learn to multitask. I was working through this #wjchat ;) #bossmode #
  • Q10: I've had projects take 6 months - several years to come fruition. Stick to it, make it happen through all channels possible ;) #wjchat #
  • .@wjchat Q9: My criteria for evaluating success depends on the project. Metrics are a part but IRL partnerships arer important too. #wjchat #
  • Q8b: I started http://t.co/KhGstj0z & it's opened doors for me. Projects don't have to be hard but shld help you grow your skills. #wjchat #
  • Q8b: I start by listening to music and making a list of needs/next steps :) & observing my peers' projects progress. #wjchat #
  • Q8a: In this climate? It can be the difference between recognition + a raise and obscurity/being laid off. Real talk. #wjchat #
  • Challenge yourself by pitching ideas that require you to develop an existing or learn a new skill. That has helped me immensely #wjchat #
  • .@wjchat Q7: YES. 100% YES. Increases morale, spurns innovation and can lead to additional sponsored content options. #wjchat #
  • .@wjchat Q6: Utilize your network for feedback in early stages. When appropriate, contact industry leaders - many reply! (like me) #wjchat #
  • Visual pitches not emails RT @ProducerMatthew No idea wt "Demos not memos" means, but I think we coined a phrase during tonight's #wjchat #
  • .@wjchat Q5: Projects that require new tools that will ultimately be used for future projects. Holistic innovation expanding options #wjchat #
  • Depends on culture within yr org. Some places encourage ppl 2 initiate projects & bring demos 2 mtg b4 official launch, 4 greenlite #wjchat #
  • .@wjchat Q3: It depends on if the project idea falls within the scope of my duties. If it doesn't, I'll bring to my boss 1st #wjchat #
  • You guys...TY! <3 You both inspire me. RT @katefanfan Agreed! RT @jambajim: @katefanfan @dcap also forgot "THE BEST." #
  • @wjchat Q1: A "project," for me, is anything that requires more than a few hours of planning/execution + measurable results #wjchat #
  • .@wjchat LR3: I factor it in within the first conversation. #wjchat #
  • @wjchat LR5: It depends on the project but the project lead -- if not versed in all digital produx skills -- shld know which are required in reply to wjchat #

  • I've helped multiple transwomen in NYC. I have a wide network of trans friends. Go ahead n call me cissexist based on misreading a tweet 2/2 #
  • Ppl who use language like "you don't earn points with me" in response to a polite reply clearly have a chip on their shoulder. (1/2) #
  • Anyone who accuses me of being offensive to trans people or trans issues doesn't know shit about me. Some pol just love picking fights. Sad #
