Today’s guest is Dr. Vanessa Bustamante, the founder of Homegirl Doctora. Dr. Bustamante joins the LPDcast family to share her passion for community healing and building through programs like the Homita Network. We discuss how reframing perspectives around barrio culture and hood knowledge will empower communities who are often viewed as less than. Our conversation incorporates first-generation experiences in higher education and the importance of collaboration within communities of color. Tune in to Radio La Raza on KPFK Wednesday mornings from 8am – 9am to hear more from Dr. Bustamante. To schedule a meeting visit her website Homegirl Doctora and follow on Instagram @homegirldoctora.
