Did you know education is a reflection of a society? We are igniting a call to action. Data Trends -Are Latinos represented? We are speaking about Latino attainment in education and beyond. Be part of the conversation. She speaks with us about her story. Dr. López was a high school dropout. How did she turn it around? In her early 30’s she was told she was pretty and didn’t need to get a job as a professor. Co-hosts Sandra González and Abdin Noboa-Ríos interview Dr. López and gain insight of her struggle and perseverance.
