Notas del episodio
For Women’s History Month, we highlighted two women that have made an impact in the Boyle Heights community, whether it’s through activism, entrepreneurship, music, and/or in educational settings. Roxana Dueñas is an Ethnic Studies and History teacher at the Math, Science and Technology Magnet at Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights. It is her gender and ethnic studies coursework that inspired and influenced her to pursue a teaching career with a specific emphasis on social justice and transformative education in urban schools. Sizzle Fantastic is a native of Guerrero, Mexico, and was raised in Boyle Heights, California. She is an Entrepreneur, Dj, Restaurant Owner, Public Speaker, and former Labor-Immigrant rights Organizer. She uplifts and centers women, migrant, queer, and working-class BIPOC communities through music, art, and activism.
