It's time once again to sing the praises of gen n's ultimate Crush

Fresh from cleaning up at the Imagen Awards for Best Internet Program at the 25th Annual Imagen Awards Ceremony, Al Carlos Hernandez has a great interview with the best actress/writer/producer around -the wonderful Ruth Livier.
Here's a link to a link and an excerpt below -

Her journey to cinematic success is rooted in a strong Mexican family.

She said:

I’m from Guadalajara; totalmente Tapatia. The first parents I remember were my maternal grandparents and my mom’s youngest brother and sister. I lived with them in Guadalajara for a part of my childhood while my parents worked in the fields in California.

When I was about seven they finally crossed me to this side of the border. My home life was very Mexican and I grew up in a Spanish speaking household. I’m a child of migrant workers. At one point eleven of us, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, lived in one trailer.

Final Frontier My Friends

I got a wonderful email from Ruth Livier (Star/Creator/Co-Writer of Ylse) telling me about a great and grand story that I've never heard on the news anywhere. Which is a shame since these are the kinds of stories we need to be telling. This August there will be Two Latino astronauts going on the space mission, Jose Hernandez - a Mexican National from Michoacan, who studied at UC Santa Barbara and Daniel Olivas - From El Paso, TX. from the US born of Mexican parents. Jose's astronaut bio is here, and Daniel's wiki page is here. Now these, mis amigos are role models. And as Ruth wrote to me, "This is the talent our community develops:))". Amen Ruth.
