Be Strong and Be You! Lessons for #WOC on the Rise

On this episode, we sit with the author of More Than Ready: Be Strong and Be You and Other Lessons for Women of Color on the Rise, Cecilia Muñoz. Drawing from her experience as the first #Latinx to serve as the White House Domestic Policy Council (under President #Obama) and decades fighting for the rights of #immigrants while at #UnidosUS, Cecilia talks to us about her four strategies to combat #selfdoubt, the importance of #empowering your team, and the everyday #heros around us.  Cecilia now serves as vice president for public interest technology and local initiatives at New America and is a recipient of the MacArthur Genius Award.
