From Self-Doubt to Owning the Room: Dr. Vanessa Nazario on Latina Leadership, Identity & Resilience

What happens when you stop asking permission and start owning every room you walk into?

Dr. Vanessa Nazario joins Latina Mic Drop to share her journey from humble beginnings as a Boricua growing up in Trenton, New Jersey, to earning her doctorate and becoming a senior leader. She gets real about Latina identity, motherhood guilt, career sacrifices, rejection, resilience, and learning that a closed door can sometimes be redirection.

As a contributing author of Chingona Playbook: Secrets to Dance to Your Own Beat, Dr. Nazario also shares why our stories matter, why we need to stop hiding behind titles, and the rule she lives by now: keep aiming higher.

Chingona Playbook launches September 29.
