In this episode we interview Martha Reyna who shares her journey to becoming a Pediatric Transplant Nurse for the children’s hospital. She unfolds her story on being a young mom of two children, working full-time, and attending nursing school. In the US, there are less than 5% Latino/a nurses and Martha is eager to change that.

Attending nursing school was not easy, especially being one of the very few Latinas, which is why she decided to start a movement to inspire and motivate more Latinos to enter healthcare by launching Latina, RN. She wanted Latinas entering healthcare to know they were not alone despite all the barriers they are faced to finish the difficult nursing program. Martha shares tips on how she managed her time, study tips, how she overcame self-doubt, and where she wants to take Latina, RN.

You can follow Martha’s journey on her personal Instagram and Latina, RN Instagram.

They say it takes a village. For Yarel Ramos, a correspondent with Univision, it’s always been about COMMUNITY. Community is what has helped Yarel take flight throughout her professional pursuits, and community has equally grounded her back to her roots at home. A native of Southern California’s San Fernando Valley, Yarel was born into a traditional family of Mexican immigrants: a close-knit community where education and growth were encouraged, but leaving the nest was extremely taboo. So when Yarel (the oldest of three children) opted to attend the University of Miami for undergraduate school, her parents had their fair share of reservations. 

Tune in for a fresh perspective on this Latina’s endeavors, as well as some dialogue about how social platforms and today’s world have transformed Yarel’s profession and life. This is an encouraging, light-hearted convo on one Latina’s path; each of us has opportunities, people, and networks that help make up part of our own story. What’s your community?

Corzo, 28, has been featured in Forbes magazine and has even dabbled in motivating others as a TED Talk speaker and career mentor. But the native Peruvian’s journey has not been easy; in fact, as a migrant to the United States, the door for many opportunities were shut on Corzo early on as he prepared himself for adulthood. Take note: this is all before the inauguration of DACA in 2012, when Corzo’s attempts at garnering a driver’s license, getting financial aid for college, and even acquiring a work permit left him at a loss. Without an established legal residency, he was repeatedly turned away and had to get creative with making his place in this country.

“If the door for opportunities close, I go through a window,” Corzo stated. This dreamer went on to make his visions a reality, including paying his own way through college – and graduating with TWO bachelor’s degrees – to try his hand in real estate methods that led him to a fruitful career coupled with financial freedom. Although the Dream Act eventually gave him some freedom to garner those achievements, Corzo also had to play major catch-up to match others who’d continued ahead without limitations.

Ever felt too overwhelmed to stay on that work flow or go after those goals? You don’t want to miss this episode! Reyna connects with Corzo for a humble and transparent conversation about the journey that helped him circumvent even the slightest obstacles to achieve the life he lives today. Learn from his experiences, gain tips about succeeding in real estate, take notes on the pivotal role of mentorship and accountability, and even delve in to the time Corzo visited with Congress to speak about America’s Dreamers.

This episode is a raw, intense, and beautiful story of Anavictoria Avila. She speaks her truth and shares with us why she studied to become an attorney and improve the juvenile justice system. She is a passionate youth advocate. Anavictoria was born into a family plagued by domestic violence and went through a custody dispute that lasted 8 years. At an early age she witnessed that justice does not have the upper hand in the legal system and class, gender, and race truly affect the dynamics and progression of a case. She focuses on becoming an attorney and advocating for marginalized communities and specifically youth who are in the juvenile and foster care systems. Anavictoria also informs us that in college she was screened and diagnosed with learning disabilities. She tells us her journey and how she got through it during law school. She explores her passion with art and we discuss how it has allowed her to heal and provide comfort during her most difficult times. Despite all the barriers Anavictoria had to face she overcame them and accomplished her life-long goal of graduating from law school. 

A lot has changed in Anavictoria’s life since the recording of the interview. The Education Advocacy Clinic hired Anavictoria to be a Clinical Supervisor and Instructor at the East Bay Community Law Center, which is a Clinic of Berkeley Law School (Boalt). In this position, she teaches law students as she represents young people caught at the intersection of the juvenile justice and education systems. She represents youth in delinquency, school expulsion, and special education matters. She will be taking the bar exam this summer 2019. Wish her strength and good vibes!
