On this summer episode of FTS, we engage in a dynamic conversation with two social justice warriors and thought leaders: Diana Ross, Executive Director of Mid-City CAN and Dr. Beatriz Solis, Director of Healthy Communities South Region at The California Endowment. Both women have spent years giving agency to the community and centering the voices of those on the front lines in City Heights, the most ethnically diverse community in San Diego, in both civic engagement and leadership development. The experiences and wisdom of these bold, daring and brave Latinas are not to be missed!
