Germaine co-wrote and produced five of Coco’s six original songs with co-director, Adrian Molina, including «Un Poco Loco» and «Proud Corazón», and provided additional music. In 2018, Univision celebrated her work as one of «15 Latinas Who Are Changing The World As We Know It,» alongside Rita Moreno and Emma Gonzalez. Franco is an advocate of music education and serves on the Advisory Board for Women In Media and The Neighborhood Music School.
