Sometimes in life, unexpected events cause us to change course. This week on Latino USA we take a trip to Waukegan, Illinois where a local election puts the future of a coal plant in limbo. We meet Lizzie Velásquez, who became an anti-bullying activist and motivational speaker after finding a video online that called her the “World’s Ugliest Woman.” And we speak to The Kid Mero about how he went from semi-employed and making jokes on Twitter to the star of Viceland’s late-night comedy & news commentary show.
