In this episode of The Mami Collective, Paulina Roe sits down with powerhouse journalist, author, and MSNBC anchor Alicia Menendez to talk about the many hats she wears- from navigating a dynamic career in media to showing up fully for her children.
Alicia opens up about her professional journey, the pivots and pressure points along the way, and how motherhood has reshaped her definition of success. Whether you're climbing the ladder or juggling your own version of work-life balance, Alicia offers real talk, insight, and a reminder that we don’t have to choose between ambition and presence- we can create space for both.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
