Our conversation digs into Natalie's roots and how they led her to a career in law and leadership, where she is now one of California's most revered people in impact and heritage as the CEO of CORO. Against all odds, her story is one of survivorship, service, culture, and redemption through relentless love is truly tear-invoking.
