In this episode, I’m joined by Sara Guillermo, CEO of IGNITE, the largest and most diverse young women's non-partisan leadership organization in the U.S. Sara’s journey from immigrant to first-generation college graduate to leader of IGNITE is an inspiring story of resilience, opportunity and advocacy. As a youth organizer and educator, she shares her passion for empowering the next generation of women to step into leadership roles, run political campaigns, and create policy that reflects their needs and experiences.During our discussion Sara shares how IGNITE helps young women ages 14 to 25 embrace their political ambition, while building a community where they feel safe and celebrated, and to fully participate in democracy. She dives into her personal story and how her experiences of being a breast cancer survivor and navigating IVF and surrogacy, have fueled her activism.Tune in as Sara demystifies the political process, pointing to how one’s personal experience, combined with political action, can help create a culture shift for a representative democracy that will serve us all. By supporting and training young women to pursue positions of power, they become future models and mentors for the next generation of girls. This is grassroots empowerment at its finest.I know this conversation will leave you inspired to step into greater purpose and action!Check out IGNITE's website to learn more, donate, and get involved!You can keep us with Sara on her LinkedIn!For more information on the podcast, upcoming events, projects, and more go to our website www.stacypulice.comYou can follow us on Instagram @stacypulice
