My Voice: A Memoir by Angie Martinez (A Book Review)

Driven, focused, and present. That’s only a few attributes to describe Angie Martinez. From an act as simple as showing up, Angie carved out a path for herself that allowed her to walk into her purpose. Simultaneously, she gained legendary status in radio by reveling in her genuine love for hip hop and possessing fierce work ethic.

It was inspiring seeing a young woman  figuring it out as she goes along, yet be very present and intentional in that exact space. Angie’s integrity and awareness has served her and her listeners for the greater good. This was a remarkable read with loads of life gems. Especially inspiring was her marathon experience. Angie sums it up like this: “Challenge yourself. If you can’t imagine the finish line, the first step is to just show up. And don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Run your own race.” It was a pleasure to read her story.
