Meet some of the 2022 Musas Hermanas! On this episode of the Las Musas Podcast, Annabelle Estrada joins Jackie Morera, Julia Clauson, Roxsy Lin, Amaris Castillo, Aimé Casillas, and Delia Ruiz to talk about their experiences during the Musas mentorship process. They discuss how and when you know you're ready for a mentor, how a mentorship can help give you the confidence to grow, how to figure out what you need, ways you can prepare yourself for getting critiqued, and the many things they took away from their wonderful experiences.
