From a Grass Shack to Silicon Valley

from Hella Latin@ Hosted by Odalys Jasmine

Martha Nino was born in Mexico and immigrated to the USA undocumented as a child. She grew up in the Bay Area and watched Silicon Valley grow into what it is today. She's a 25-year tech pro and just recently celebrated her 15-year anniversary as a Sr. Marketing Manager at Adobe. In this episode, Martha tells her story in the most real and authentic way possible—from a grass shack in Zacatecas to poverty in the U.S. to a non-linear road into Silicon Valley. For a long time, Martha's voice and story were silent. Finding power, passion and purpose in her voice has given her a reason to keep speaking and writing in the most human way possible. Find and connect with Martha on LinkedIn. Big love to my partner/sponsor, RisOn. RisOn is an interactive weekly space created by two first-gen Latinos with the intention to mindfully unburden, introspect, connect, and belong. As a Hella Latin@ listener, you get a free one-month membership. Stick around at the end of the episode for more details.
