Talkin About It w/ Guest Manny Rodriguez SISD Board Trustee

In this episode of Talkin’ About It, Ashlee sits down with SISD District 5 Trustee Manny Rodriguez for a real conversation about public education, local politics, leadership, and why local elections matter more than most people realize. They dive into the challenges facing Texas schools, where funding is (and isn’t) going, the impact political decisions have on everyday families, and why younger generations getting involved in politics could be the shift Texas needs. This episode also explores frustration, hope, accountability, and the importance of continuing to have uncomfortable conversations that push people to learn, engage, and take action in their communities. Whether you’re deeply involved in politics or someone just trying to understand what’s happening around you, this conversation breaks things down in a real, relatable way.🎙️ Talkin’ About It with AshleeReal conversations about mental health, growth, and the stuff we don’t always say out loud.👉 Resources & Everything Talkin About It: www.talkinaboutit.com👉 Connect on IG: @talkin.about.it👉 Share this episode—someone might need it today.Rember to keep talkin about the hard things so you start to appreciate the good!
