Why Latina Representation Matters + Equity & Privilege with @latinaswithmasters - Ep. 50

CW: we do chat briefly about micro aggressions, but this episode does not cover graphic depictions of racism. It approaches racism from a more educational lens

Christina is the founder of the online community and podcast, Latinas with Masters, whose mission is to Inspire, Empower and Educate nuestra comunidad and future generation leaders with equitable pathways, academic advancement and professional growth in a safe, positive and supportive environment. In this episode, we chat about equity and privilege from testing discrimination, Latina/o/x representation, the importance of seeing Latinas in academia, and why Christina knew this space was needed.
