In May 1991, Gonzalez spearheaded Fox 11’s "On Our Toes" programme. This unique alternative ballet programme for at risk teenagers was endorsed by the LA County Probation Department. Acknowledgement for her work with the dancers came from school districts and community agencies. An award for a half-hour special documenting "On Our Toes" was given by Women in Communications, with a 1993 Clarion Award for best public affairs programme, and another Los Angeles area Emmy nomination for arts and culture programming. Her reports on the violence at the US/Mexico border were nominated for additional Emmys in 1991.
