[Interview] Chingona: Own Your Inner Badass & Live with Courage, Confidence and Freedom (feat. Alma Zaragoza-Petty)

Creating the world you want to live in takes guts, grace and everything you've got. And to heal the world and be a source for good, you've also got to heal yourself. 

In the words of my guest, Alma Zaragoza-Petty, you’ve got to unleash your chingona : your inner badass. She’ll show us how to claim and own our inner chingona.

Alma Zaragoza-Petty, PhD, is a social justice advocate and scholar who teaches equity to create change. Alma has served as an academic advisor, as a professor, and in research and evaluation for a nonprofit organization. She is co-founder of Prickly Pear Collective, a trauma-informed, faith-based community organization and co-host of The Red Couch Podcast.

In this interview, Alma describes the chingona spirit she began to claim within herself and leads us toward the courage required to speak up and speak out against oppressive systems. This involves owning our stories, healing past wounds, and believing we are worthy of success and praise.
