Congratulations to LCOE Scholar and La Red de Apoyo Mentor Daniela Medina, who was featured on KQED: "I see so much of myself in the young women and girls with heavy spirits who think they’re damaged beyond repair. I think it's so important for them to see that they can be whoever they want to be that they can change the things they do without changing who they are. I hope my journey proves that." https://www.kqed.org//daniela-medina-finding-my-freedom-th
