Angeliz "Angel" Valle


What up!! My name is Angeliz (but my friends call me Angel.) I am fourteen years old. I am ninety percent Puerto Rican because I was born in New York. I am doing Radio Rookies because it makes me feel better, because I can let go of all my secrets. My favorite colors are red and black. Summer 2002

Interesting Fact: I got my tongue pierced, and it's still swollen.

Mentor: Adrienne Urbina is passionate about giving young people a voice. Two of her proudest accomplishments include founding a bilingual Girl Scout Troop and writing her Master's thesis on media scapegoating of urban youth. While in graduate school, she also co-produced a documentary about a home for newly arrived immigrants. Currently, Adrienne works in television at Dateline NBC, but she confesses radio was her first love. Summer 2002
