Disney 'Power of Joy' creator Francesca Murray on storytelling beginnings and Afro-Latina identity
Briefly

“I started it to be the change I wanted to see in the world,” Murray said about her internet beginnings.
“I started keeping a diary,” she said. “Around 8 years old, our family took our first trip to Jamaica. I really fell in love with recalling those memories through the written word, and I think that's kind of where the spark of travel storytelling through writing came.”
“One of the movies that inspired me the most as a kid was 'Mulan',” she shared. “She had to assimilate, trying to be a warrior, and in my own journey as an Afro-Latina and someone who's still understanding what that means in the way that I present to the world, fitting into Latino spaces, I was always asked to prove it.”
