Ep 43 - Alex de Armas - A Journalist’s Journey of Wish Granting
Description
In episode 42 of “World of Wishes”, we visit with Alex de Armas, longtime morning anchor on WSVN Channel 7 in Miami and a passionate Make-A-Wish Southern Florida ambassador, volunteer wish granter, and event host. Born and raised in Miami, Alex shares her deep connection to the community she serves both on and off the air.
For Alex, giving back isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a calling. “When you love it, there’s nothing stopping you,” she says, and that love shines through as she recounts the unforgettable moments she’s experienced while granting wishes to children with critical illnesses.
With touching stories, raw emotion, and a genuine heart for service, Alex reveals why she calls Make-A-Wish “her baby”—and how each wish leaves a lasting mark not just on the lives of the children, but on hers as well.
