Today I speak with Neri Martinez. Neri is the granddaughter of Cubans who moved into the immigrant melting pot of Florida to start a new life after Castro’s revolution. Neri felt an early calling to work on furthering the rights of the homeless, the vulnerable, minorities and women. She recognised her passion for politics and started working on campaigns for the Republican Party and then relocated to DC. In this conversation, we talk about finding our speed, recognising our biases, and how openness to all foods means openness to others.
