On our eighth episode of "Hearing Her Voice", we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Serena Auñón-Chancellor. She served as NASA's first engineer on the International Space Station for Expedition 56 and 57. She is board certified in internal and aerospace medicine. She is of Cuban-American heritage. She and her crew contributed to multitudes of experiments and biology, biotechnology, physical science, and earth science.

We really enjoyed talking with her and learning more about women in space. We hope you enjoy the episode.

On our seventh (emergency) episode of "Hearing Her Voice", we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Selina Sandoval and Dr. Kyle Bukowski. Dr. Sandoval is a complex family planning fellow at UCSD OB/GYN department and Dr. Bukoswki is the associate medical director at Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest. We wanted to talk about the recent passing of Senate Bill 8, aka heartbeat bill at Texas. This law would block women from seeking an abortion after 6 weeks from their menstrual period which affects the basic human right to make their own choice for their body and not be seen as a human incubator. We strongly believe that abortion is safe, common, and necessary. Hopefully, this episode will help continue the discussion about abortion and destigmatize it. For your reference, this episode was recorded on September 9th, 2021. We hope you enjoy the episode.

On our sixth episode of "Hearing Her Voice", we had the pleasure of speaking with Ms.Roberta Camarena. She is the assistant director of admissions, diversity, and recruitment at UCSD. Her job encompasses: Outreach, recruitment and yield of prospective students with specific attention to traditionally underrepresented (low income, first-generation, tribal affiliated) populations in Southern California's Inland Empire.

While the admissions process might seem like a black box, we had a glimpse through the process from her and discussed some tips and tricks to explain the most crucial thing in deciding who to join their class: the distance traveled. This episode also discusses not only why higher education is important but also the importance of diversity for an institution. Our conclusion was that as much as we want UCSD the school also needs us to help them pause for a moment and think about the community that they should be representing. She has a lot to share and we hope you enjoy the episode.

On our fifth episode of "Hearing Her Voice", we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Kristina Mendez. She is part of UCSD CAPS, which stands for Counseling and Psychological Services. She is currently a post-doctoral resident at UCSD and has great interests in Latinx students, chronic stress related to systemic oppression, and more. She reminded us of the importance of self-reflection and most importantly the resources UCSD provides to support student well-being.   After our discussion, I realized my internal hesitance towards seeking these services disappeared. Counselors are like your best friend who is always there to listen and support you. We hope you feel the same after hearing this episode.

On our first episode of "Hearing Her Voice", we have Dr. Anita Raj, director of Center on Gender Equity and Health at University of California, San Diego. It was inspirational for us to listen to her passion in the field of gender equity alongside her support for first-generation college students and immigrants. In the podcast, we'll be discussing gender issues, Dr. Raj's journey to her career, the importance of support groups and more. We had a great time talking to her and we hope you enjoy the recording as well.

Women deserve a life that should not be governed by the perceptions imposed on us. Women's March at UC San Diego is here to make a stand for those whose voices are not being heard. Welcome to Hearing Her Voice where we aim to bring light to issues that women face in order to start making revolutionary change.
