46. How Cristal Broke Barriers in STEM and Found Her Voice Through Writing | Cristal A. Alférez

In this episode of Querida Latina, I have the pleasure of interviewing, Cristal A. Alférez, a proud Latina in STEM, who shares her inspiring journey from Ciudad Juarez to becoming a successful engineer and author. Cristal discusses the challenges she faced in a male-dominated field, her cultural transition to the United States, and the importance of pursuing higher education. She emphasizes the power of community, the therapeutic nature of writing, and her new book 'Mil Mujeres en Mi', which explores the stories of women and their experiences. Cristal's journey is a testament to resilience, empowerment, and the belief that anyone can achieve their dreams with determination and support.   Cristal's Socials & Book Link:  https://www.facebook.com/cristalaalferez   https://www.linkedin.com/in/calferez/   Crystel Nunez   Amazon.com: Mil Mujeres en Mí: Historias que habitan en mi piel.
