DORIS ANAHÍ MUÑOZ

-

San Bernardino-raised and L.A.-based Anahí has long been a power player in music, managing Chicano singer Cuco and creating the benefit concert series Selena for Sanctuary, which celebrates the late singer while helping send undocument­ed students to college. However, her latest feat might be her most impressive — grabbing the spotlight for herself to launch a career as a singer. Her journey recently got the big-screen treatment via Disney+, when she starred in a documentar­y about her life, titled “Mija.” The film chronicles her ascent through the music industry as she attempts to balance her dreams against the pressures that come along with being a first-generation immigrant born to parents living in the U.S. illegally. — Kenan Draughorne
