Welcome everyone to a very special episode of the We The Scenario Podcast. I’m your host Maggie B and Tony Siona and we're so excited to introduce today’s guest. Her accomplishments are endless--She is a candidate for California’s 18th Assembly District, an elected school board member, and is the CEO of Oakland Promise. Our guest today specializes in youth development, education, philanthropy, and college access, just to name a few. Growing up, Mia moved 13 times in 16 years, and with every move she carried what was most precious to her: a crate of books. Education was the one constant in her life, and Mia was fortunate to attend schools that would foster her love of learning and offer her a caring community of teachers and administrators committed to her success. For Mia, education was life-changing, and was what first inspired Mia to become a public servant.In 2018, Mia was elected to the Alameda Unified School District School Board, and she currently serves as Board President. In addition to her professional work, Mia has served as a PTA member, a school site council member, a member of Alameda Free Library Foundation, and an active community member. Mia also serves as a delegate for the district to the California Democratic Party, worked on several campaigns dedicated to electing progressive labor candidates, and served on the AD-18 Advisory Committees for Women, Education, and Early Childhood. Remember California go vote June 29, 2021
