Washington Post best-selling author Julissa Arce joins Brenda as guest host. Together, they interview Lucy Flores who was the first Latina elected to the Nevada state legislature. Julissa and Brenda discuss #noposwow moments when we are shocked at the actions of others. Julissa shares examples of recent personal attacks from folks in our own community. A central theme on this episode is how we can do better to lift each other up and not tear each other down. Get inspired by Lucy's story of overcoming great challenges and how this #chingona is continuing to push important issues forward, such as #justicereform and #immigration as Vice President of Public Affairs at mitú, a digital media company that creates authentic, culturally relevant stories.
