Dulce Vasquez LA City Council Candidate District 9

On this Episode I speak with Dulce Vasquez who is running for LA City Council District 9. 

Dulce tells us about her story, how she went from a child without papers, to now running for LA City Council. She shares her childhood with us and memories from growing up. She moved to LA and feel in love with the city. 

We also talk about the generational trauma of being stable within Latino families. Our parents often wanting the best for us, worry when we want to go on a path that isn't structured and stable, such as entrepreneurship or running for City Council.

Dulce also talks about balancing the challenges of being a candidate, maintaining her relationship, her full-time job, and relationship's with family and friends. We cover the importance of taking time for yourself to breathe and recharge. 

Dulce is a young Latina running for a spot that has been occupied by an older male. This to has challenged in it's own. Dulce shares with us her campaign journey so far. How much she loves the city of LA and wants to represent it and for people to be proud they are from LA.
