Hola, hola! It's your girl Gigi (Giovanna Gonzalez), also known as The First Gen Mentor, back with Season 3 of the Cultura & Cash!

🔸 What it really costs to make a new toy and challenges she overcame with manufacturing

🔸 Why she chose Kickstarter to crowdfund the start up costs for her new project
