Ms Veteran America: Combating Women Veteran Homelessness
10/06/22 • 54 min
Dominique, US Army Captain and Attorney, and Juanita Sepulveda, USMC veteran and entrepreneur, share their own personal experiences on preparing to take part in the Ms. Veteran America competition, where grace, poise, beauty, and service are the ingredients for all the women involved. Proceeds from this event provide housing for homeless female veterans and children.
First up, I share a little about where exactly I am at right now and some of the bigger changes that have taken place for my family and me in the past few months, returning to the U.S. after living overseas for a few years.
The first interview is with returning guest, Dominique, an active duty JAG officer. You can find her previous podcast here: Military Legal Talk with Dominique. She is also a co-author for the Parenthood, Pregnancy, and Post-Partum Army Directive, for which she was recognized by the Secretary of the Army. In this episode she passionately discusses supporting homeless women veterans through competing in Ms. Veteran America.
Part II is with fellow Ms. Veteran America competitor, Juanita Sepulveda, mother of 7, and a former homeless vet. She promotes positive community and financial growth through several organizations linked to education and community outreach and development. Juanita takes us through her own life and the struggles she overcame as she works to give back to those who positively affected her life, including the amazing accomplishments her children are now undertaking.
