    En el programa de hoy, conversé con Selene Quiroga, venezolana, pianista y compositora. Soñadora, guerrera y artista. Encontrarnos en la misma frecuencia con nuestro entorno es complicado y la mayoría de las veces, diría que imposible. Sin embargo, existen historias en el mundo que me hacen pensar que las barreras entre nosotros y el Flow es mental y aparece por querer forzar las cosas. La historia de Selene es una de esas historias. A través de trabajo duro y disciplina, la historia de Selene nos inspira a abrir nuestras mentes y corazones a las posibilidades de nuestros sueños. Selene no se queda con el sueño – lo busca, lo persigue con esmero y con la frente en alto. Quédense con nosotros, mientras seguimos escuchando la historia de nuestra vecina Selene, de Venezuela y Nueva York.
