Latinas in Politics, Part 2 of 3 with Dr. Monica Sanchez, Episode 103

<p class="p1">This is part 2 of LUL's Latinas in Politics series and you’re in for a treat. Meet Dr. Monica Sanchez who shares her journey into politics with open vulnerability and tales of immense grit. Both a UC Berkeley and UC Los Angeles alumna, Dr. Sanchez shares what it takes to persevere.</p> <p class="p1">If you spend time thinking of all the reasons why you can’t do something, listen to Dr. Sanchez to understand how you always can. Less than 1% of Latinas earn PhD’s and Dr. Sanchez did it. Latinas are all too often underrepresented in high-power careers and Dr. Sanchez is at the table.</p> <p class="p1">Dr. Sanchez broke through the microaggressions and underrepresentation to become a City Council member in her respective city where a woman hadn't served in this capacity for 10+ years. She is still the only woman holding a seat even though her city is 50% female. She was a delegate for the Democratic Party and does it all as a single-mother and thriving Latina. Don’t miss this wonderful episode highlighting what it takes to stay the course in male-dominated careers and as a first-generation/teen mom.</p> <p class="p1">Thank you for your time and talent Dr. Sanchez. </p> <p class="p1">Your journey is admirable beyond measure. </p>
