Our Super Latina today is ready for her TED Talk! You may have noticed her first on VH1's Love & Hip Hop: Miami but she is making her mark by being vocal about colorism. Amara La Negra embraces her Afro-Latina roots and credits her Dominican Republic-born mother (and best friend) for teaching her to be proud her heritage and culture. She is an international entertainer, singer/songwriter, actress, model, author and successful entrepreneur. During our conversation, Amara discusses how she dealt with challenges as an Afro-Latina, why she embraces her negridad, why she asks to be recognized by her full (stage) name Amara La Negra, how she is setting up generational wealth for her newborn daughters, being a single mother and the importance of faith when you chase your dreams. She shares her thoughts on the impact of reality television, representation in reality television and taking part in the American Reality Television Awards. Here's to embracing who we are!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
