Description

On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by Luis A. Miranda with his new memoir, Relentless. Luis is the father to Luz Miranda-Crespo, Miguel Towns, and Lin Manuel Miranda who you all know as the Grammy, Tony, and Pulitzer-Prize winning creator of Hamilton and In the Heights. Champions of community activism, the Miranda family came together to create The Miranda Family Fund, supporting underserved communities throughout New York City, across the country, and in Puerto Rico. Luis is a founding partner of the MirRam Group, founding president of the Hispanic Federation, and chairperson of the Latino Victory Fund, Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, and Viva Broadway. He is a board member of the Public Theater and The City, and the chair of the Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of RELENTLESS will go to The Miranda Family Fund.
