S5 Ep52: Advancing Racial, Economic and Gender Justice with Beatriz (Bia) Vieira CEO of Women's Foundation California

Latinas From The Block To The Boardroom

Welcome to Season 5 with Beatrice (Bia) Vieira, CEO of The Women’s Foundation California, a publicly supported foundation dedicated to achieving racial, economic, and gender justice by centering the experience and expertise of communities most impacted by systemic injustice. Their vision is to build a feminist future for California by investing in, training, and connecting community leaders to advance gender, racial, and economic justice. In this episode, we discuss heading into the 2024 elections and communities most at risk, and how we can not afford to stand on the sidelines. Raising awareness of the unseen in our communities, giving voice to the power of movements are creating unbelievable change within US policies and new technology that big media does not cover or follow. Podcasting our local movements and community initiatives has created a “boots on the ground” medium, with the change makers of tomorrow. This also builds our voices on the future of AI, which will represent us in more empowering light when prompted correctly. (That’s a whole another story, episode 42 for reference.) I’ve said in the past, and speaking in person, “Technology has the power to change the narratives, because as we speak and write this, it is changing and making a new content data point. WE now exist to understand that our past generations worked their way through all these systems to provide a safety net and movements for education, access to food programs, ethnic studies, healthcare programs, STEM and technology access into schools. WE have the community power and just as much access to these technology systems and their platform for community resources to leverage the power of our truth, our voices, our resources and opportunities, to be a source of our truths.
