This week on the podcast how growing up in LA in the 90's shaped our world. In conversation with community leader, Laura Herrera. What defined the 90’s for you? The Lewinsky Scandal? The OJ Trial? Selena? For Laura and me it was actually television shows like Saved by the Bell and 90210. But as kids who grew up in a part of LA you rarely see on television, we talk about what these shows taught us about the world we live in. In Laura’s case understanding her community and how it differed from other parts of LA was pivotal to how she shaped her life and career. Laura is one of the hundreds of young women who ran for office in the wake of Donald Trump’s election. We talk about that experience and the personal growth and lessons it left her with. She gives us her take on how our generation can move beyond #hashtag activism and get our hands dirty to make sure that issues that plague our generation like student debt, and housing get the attention they deserve. Finally, she tells us about the life-changing magic of getting a therapist and having an “adult mindset” that has nothing to do with where we live or how much avocado toast we consume.
