Latinas are leaders, Queridos! 💜 Even in a pandemic, Latinas rise up to lead in their own communities as did Cherise Rohr-Allegrini, PhD, MPH. Please watch this Latinas Who Lead interview I did with her because I wanted to know more about the women who are leading the way during COVID-19.

Cherise is an epidemiologist which just fascinates me. #LatinasinSTEM have my heart and admiration. Her desire to learn about other people and understand cultures is what led her to become a public health advocate. She holds degrees from UC Santa Barbara, University of Notre Dame and Yale University. But how did she navigate that?

And, today, how does a Latina mom who is serving her community so faithfully pass down her cultural heritage to her children?

Dr. Rohr-Allegrini recently joined the San Antonio AIDS Foundation (SAAF) as their new CEO. She brings so much experience and leadership. "Leadership is recognizing the strengths in other people."

Latinas who lead like Cherise continue to inspire me. I hope her story will inspire you too.
