¡SALUD! - Advocating for Community

On the Season Finale of ¡SALUD!, host Melanie Mendez-Gonzales introduces us to three women who are using their voices, experiences, and expertise to advocate for their communities. Uvalde native Kimberly Mata-Rubio shares how the horrific tragedy at Robb Elementary spurred her to become a gun violence prevention advocate. Learn how her determination to tell her daughter Lexi’s story continues to guide her on her journey to affect change. We then meet community advocate and retired teacher Jesusita Rios. Jesusita shares how she overcame systemic challenges and used what she learned to help others navigate and advocate for themselves. On “Getting Started,” co-host Jessie Degollado sits down with financial expert Yvette Villanueva Barrera to learn how she helps small business owners learn the ropes and avoid unpleasant surprises. Hear her advice to future entrepreneurs and others. Watch all previous episodes at klrn.org/salud. ¡SALUD! on KLRN is proudly supported by Texas Mutual Insurance Company
