Fiercely independent Yasmin “Queenz” Deliz is a VJ for Mun2 on the show Vivo, which highlights new music artists performing live. She left home at sixteen for Cali to pursue her music career.

The Project
Each week the girls are sent out on adventures where they learn new talents like how to surf, host events, or perform outrageous stunts like skydiving. Keeping with the mission of Mun2, no matter what they do, the chicas always try to keep themselves and their identity rooted in their Hispanic culture. The show operates under the premise that along with entertainment value, the show is important because it acts as an example of positive young Latina role models in starring roles on television. “We get into some crazy stuff,” Yasmin says "...I think the show gives Latinas a chance to see themselves in a starring role on television. If they can’t relate to me, they can relate to Crash.” The show is premiering its 3rd Season on July 5th at 2pm EST and airs on Saturdays on the Mun2 network.
