Sharon: You mentioned earlier that both your parents passed away this year. What have you learned from each of them that adds to who you are today? Soledad: My mom was a tough nut, and I really learned a lot from her. She taught me from a very young age to call out bad things. A big part of being a journalist is to be able to call out BS.
