Shero's Rise with Yetunde Rubinstein and Yamilet Medina Lopez

On today's parenting episode, I am joined by Yetunde Rubinstein and Yamilet Medina Lopez from Shero's Rise. Sheros's Rise is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing girls and young women from underserved communities with the essential skills, experiences, tools, and support needed to become empowered agents of change in their world. Their purpose is for every girl to find her voice, own her power and learn how to use her "invisible cape" to soar high in each stage of her development. Their goal is for each girl to become her own Shero. Born and raised in Guyana, Yetunde Daniels Rubinstein serves as the Cultural Impact Strategist & Operational Officer at Shero's Rise. Beyond her work at Shero's Rise, Yetunde is an Associate Director of College Counseling at an independent school in Los Angeles and an instructor in the UCLA College Counseling Certificate Program. Yetunde centers the voices and skills of those who are most at risk and systemically overlooked. Her intersectionality illuminates the unique gifts that are needed to provide novel solutions to old problems. Yamilet Medina Lopez is an admission professional, educator, Diversity Equity Inclusion practitioner, and partner. Her roots are in the island of Puerto Rico where she lived until attending college in the mainland. She currently serves as the Assistant Dean of Diversity Outreach and External Relations for Stanford University. Yamilet believes in the power of compassion and education to build a more socially equitable future for women. In today's episode we will discuss Shero's Rise and the great work the organization is doing to empower young girls and women. https://www.sherosrise.org/
