La Posibilidad Es Tu Superpoder / Possibility Is Your Superpower (Spanish Edition) - Alonso, Victoria

. .

Résumé :
Marvel Studios President of VFX, Postproduction, and Animation Victoria Alonso takes readers on her journey from Argentina to America to Hollywood and illuminates the ways everyone can live in a heightened state of possibility and use their voice for change.

“If it has been done, you can do it. But if it hasn’t been done, you should.” It was these words from Victoria Alonso’s mother that imbued in her the power of possibility. First as a young person in Argentina living through a dictatorship, then as a nineteen-year-old alone in America, saying yes to possibility again and again laid the path for Victoria to become who she is today: one of the most powerful Latinas in Hollywood and a top executive at Marvel Studios—the biggest and most successful studio in the world.

Having spent the last fifteen-plus years bringing relatable superheroes to screen, often being the lone woman in the rooms where big decisions are made, Victoria has a simple secret to share: “You don’t need a cape, you don’t need a hammer, you don’t need a shield. Your superpower is your voice, and your voice will create change for yourself, for society, and for those who you love.”

In Possibility Is Your Superpower, Victoria takes you on a deep dive into her years climbing the Hollywood ladder—its hurdles, highlights, and meaningful lessons—in hopes that her path will inspire you to find your own voice, to speak up when you finally have a seat at the table, and to never lose sight of who you are along the way. With vivacious wisdom, she illustrates how your favorite superheroes are just like us—how their struggles and obstacles are not so different from our own. That, in fact, we are just as strong as they are, because their power, and our own, ultimately springs from our character, will, resolve, and ability to embrace new ideas, relationships, and circumstances. The ultimate superhero secret is simple: possibility. You hold the power to change your life. To follow your dreams, discover your purpose, be true to who you are, and stay humble.
