from Querida Latina · host queridalatinapodcast

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.

Throughout my life that lack of fear has always landed me one of two places. Down the wrong road, or down the right road after taking every single wrong turn possible to get there. What can I say, I'm directionally challenged in the car and in life. But I consider it one of my greatest blessings to have done life backwards and upside down because opening up about my experiences connects me with you.
