Representation IS the Mission
from Gritty Genius Hosted by Gritty Genius
“Our personal genius IS a part of our personal mission.” The soul of Gritty Genius and the process of uncovering our personal genius is always tied to our mission in life. When was the last time you reflected on yours? With the close of Latinx/Hispanic Heritage month, I take a moment to honor my mission- of advancing my Latino/a community through representation and creating opportunities for POC. I will always “hold the door open” so that other Latinos, Latinx, and POC will be seen, heard, and valued in spaces where I am. This mission is why I am willing to get out of my comfort zone and dream bigger! Never underestimate what your presence- in the classroom, boardroom, meeting, or office- could mean to someone else. You could be planting a seed that will change the course of their life forever, just like Dr. Thomasa Gonzales did for me.
