Jasmine Vallejo is a proud First Gen Latina from the south side of San Antonio. Currently, she leads Community Engagement for the Southwest region at Meta, working to keep the local neighborhoods strong through partnerships with nonprofits, organizations, and schools by providing STEM and economic opportunity programs. She is also Board Member of Latinas in Tech, a non-profit that is focused on empowering and connecting Latinas in the technology industry and co-founded Latinos in Tech, an organization that brings together Latinx and allies for community and connections.

Coming from a family of migrant farm workers and growing up in an underserved community, it’s important to Jasmine to shine light on the lack of representation in technology and empower communities that shaped her as a young Latina. In this episode, we cry, we laugh, but most importantly we hear from the powerhouse woman herself.
