  • Episode 10: Identity and Motherhood with Ruby Aparicio-Pagán

    Ruby Aparicio-Pagán is a Licensed Social Worker who has worked with students in Cumberland County for many years. She is a proud Mexican-American woman, a first generation student and most lovingly, a wife and mother. Ruby and I discuss social work, barriers to care, being a first generation student and American, and the transition to being a mother. It all boils down to this: our identities shape our experience of the world. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed having Ruby on!
