In this episode of  She Is Mother, Dr. Charleanea interviews her client whom she has coached over years, Esperansa Cervantes aka Espi.Since being in middle school, Espi has committed herself to being a champion of opportunity for low-income people of color in her community in Colorado, creating a program at only 13 to save her middle school from being shut down. However, even today, she struggles with taking up space and breaking out of “playing small,” something she’s had to do her entire life. Dr. Charleanea guides her through a conversation about overcoming self doubt once and for all and owning yourself as a woman of color.
