Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Class 2010 with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor aka my shero.
I’ve had a pretty cool life — starting off in Texas, moving to the most powerful city in the world — Washington, DC, living all over Latin America, and traveling on my first solo trip to Thailand. Along the way I got to meet some neat people like Hillary Clinton, Tory Burch, Edward James Olmos, and all of the 2016 presidential candidates — it was a wild year. And I’ve navigated the most powerful institutions and every time I looked around the room — I was usually the only woman in the room and if that wasn’t the case…I’m always the only woman of color.
