In this week's episode, Melissa and Desiree interview special guest Carlos Cruz, an artist with a major in communications, program manager of Gameheads, former Impact Manager of City Year Cleveland, and volunteer moderator and public speaker at Latinx in Gaming. Carlos shares how he first got into communications which helped pave the path for him to find Gameheads through a chance encounter at Latinx in Gaming. Listen in to hear more about his passion for the gaming industry for the kids in his community as well as the new adventures he experiences every day at Gameheads and how helping the kids in his community is a learning experience.
