The glitz and glam of superstars like Rihanna might look effortless, but you know she can’t do it all on her own. Behind every celebrity is a talent team of stylists, producers and assistants. Tirelessly working to make the magic happen. Jenny Rosales and Patty Rodriguez are two high-powered Latinas working in the entertainment industry. Jen is Rihanna’s personal assistant and Patty is senior producer for Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest. The two talk hard work, sacrifice and Latina identity in this intimate interview.
