It's an honor for me to have had the opportunity to interview Kety. She is a source of great inspiration and is one of the most supportive people I have come across in social media. (Follow her on twitter).
This interview has been underway for a while, and I truly feel fortunate that Kety was able to squeeze a little bit of time for this interview between attending the People's World Conference for Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba, Bolivia, organizing the first ever Latinos in Technology and Media MeetUp at SXSW, and getting married, oye!
Enjoy!
