For Becky G having a connection with her fans and culture is extremely important; therefore, when the opportunity of having her talk show arrived at her desk, she couldn’t turn it away. Today, Facebook Watch announced the new original talk series Face to Face with Becky G, a show in which the global superstar, actress, businesswoman, and activist will invite her favorite artists, icons, and friends to join her for candid, unfiltered conversations that cover issues relevant to her generation, the Latinx community and beyond.
