The Courage to Be Uncomfortable - With Linda Macias

We've all been there, sitting on the sidelines of our own communities, feeling like the systems around us weren't built for us, and honestly, wondering if our single voice even matters. It's easy to stay in the comfort of our living rooms, but that comfort often comes at the price of the change we desperately want to see for our children and our neighborhoods. On today's episode, we sit down with Linda Macias, the City Commissioner for District 2 in Brownsville, Texas. After the sudden loss of her mother to COVID-19, Linda transformed her personal grief into a calling for public service, proving that leadership isn't about titles, it's about the radical act of showing up for your neighbors. You are going to learn why local municipal elections are the most powerful lever you have for immediate change and how to find the courage to step into spaces where you feel "uncomfortable" until you finally belong.
