Becoming Mujeres

In this episode of Spartan Sabiruria, Dr. Rebeca Burciaga, Centro's Faculty Fellow and Professor of Educational Leadership and Chicana and Chicano Studies, sits down with Dr. Socorro (Coco) Castañeda and Lupita Castañeda-Liles, Co-Founders of Becoming Mujeres, a training firm that provides workshops and seminars on mental health to Latina teens, young adults, and older women. A power-house mother-daughter duo, Dr. Castañeda and Lupita share what and who inspired them to do this work, discuss the mission of Becoming Mujeres, and offer advice for Latina college students seeking support with talking to their familias about difficult topics such as gender norms, sexuality, and cultural expectations.
