Rebecca Aguilar

I've been a reporter for more than 30 years. It's one of the best jobs in the world. Today I am my own boss as a freelance reporter based in Dallas. I still cover everything from Latino issues to court cases.

I am also a social media columnist for Latina Style Business magazine and an opinion writer and political reporter for Mercado Bilingue, a newspaper and online site.

I also run one of the largest Latina virtual groups on Facebook and Linked. Wise Latinas Linked is a networking group for Latinas with more than 7,000 members.

And as VP of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists I also manage more than a dozen of the nonprofit's social media pages.

Life is good.
