Latina Leadership Podcast

Hola Amigas! On today's episode, Anjelica sits down with Barbara Holguin, the owner of the Discovery Alcohol and Drug education program. After noticing a lack of accommodations for Spanish-speaking people in the courtroom, Barbara decided that something needed to be done. Barbara has trained many bilingual Latina instructors and counselors, helping to empower women in her niche field of work, as well as helping to meet the demand of Spanish-speakers who are seeking their services. Listen to Anjelica and Barbara discuss what started it all, and how Latinas are often overlooked in niche fields such as this one. If you or a loved one are struggling with Alcohol or Drug addiction, Discovery has expanded their services to accommodate those looking to conquer their struggles with substance abuse. It's never too late to make a difference, whether it be for you, or for someone like you!

Newsflash! Our podcast founder, Anjelica Cazares, sits down with Liz Alarcón, the founder and executive director of Project Pulso, a media outlet that shares history, culture, and commentary for and by Latinos. Liz's story began when she noticed the considerable lack of Latino representation in mainstream media. She realized that Latinos needed a place to let their stories be heard, and created Project Pulso to give Latinos a platform to do just that. Not only does Project Pulso elevate Latinos, but they also use their platform to promote other marginalized communities. It is important to Project Pulso, (and us here at the LLP) that oppressed voices do not remain silenced. When minority groups band together in support of one another, we become a greater force that can accomplish many things. Tune in to hear more about the roots of Project Pulso, and check out their page where every post is a celebration of the past, present, and future of Latino heritage and lifestyle.
