Mijo Podcast

Axel sits down with Giselle​ Carrillo, an East LA native whose journey into community empowerment is as inspiring as it is transformative. They talk about overcoming early challenges, navigating expectations, and what it took to finally embrace her passions and choose a different path. Giselle shares how that decision led to the creation of Los Courage Camps, an organization helping youth build confidence, courage, and connection through the ocean. Today, she’s creating life-changing experiences for communities that have often been left out. It’s uplifting, empowering, and a reminder that following your passion can create impact far beyond yourself.
