This week, we’re joined by Dr. Brenda Gálvez, a distinguished first-generation Latina whose work centers on building community, self-advocacy, and social and economic mobility. As the founder of Latina Hustle, Dr. Gálvez has dedicated her career to creating access and opportunity for under-represented communities - bridging local government, educational institutions, and professional industries to uplift the next generation of Latina leaders.

With expertise in designing culturally competent, person-centered career programs, Dr. Gálvez empowers individuals to not only pursue careers that align with their goals but to confidently navigate and thrive within them.

In this episode, host Arianna Lemus sits down with Dr. Gálvez to explore the importance of representation in professional spaces, the power of mentorship, and how she continues to champion Latina empowerment through education and advocacy.

📍 Recorded in Pasadena, CA.
