“I look forward to developing more opportunities for them in the entertainment space. And as the industry moves towards a more inclusive playing field, I’m excited to be a part of that change with Makiné being an independent, female-owned and minority-accredited company under the awesome leadership of Maria Alejandra,” she continued.
