Fernanda Romero is an actress, singer, model and entrepreneur who emigrated from Mexico City to the US in order to study but decided to stay after discovering her passion for acting. She has participated in many movies starring Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, Christian Slater, and many more! For Fernanda, all of this can be accomplished as long as you’re willing to take risks and say yes to yourself!
Highlights:
- Fernanda’s journey from coming to the US in order to study Fashion Design and Merchandising, to actually finding a passion for acting and building out a steady career from it
- Entrepreneurship is also something that interests Fernanda, and she decided to launch her own brand of oils and candles called Vita Parfum. She explains her first steps into this business and how she got so good at it
- Different types of scents can actually have a deep meaning for people, and Fernanda used this idea in order to create her brand

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
