On this episode of Social Chats we will be speaking with Vanessa Paula, a 1st generation Latina striving to change the narrative from her own story from surviving to thriving, breaking the cycle one day at a time.

South Bronx-bred and New York City Housing Authority-raised, she considers herself to be a Latina rose that grew from the concrete. She started out as yet another "statistic" from the South Bronx. She refused to accept her circumstances, so she hustled hard and made her heart strong to survive a hood that was plagued by poverty, drugs, trauma, limited resources, and the elephant no one wanted to address: the mental health of our people, our community! Her experience and walks of life are vast, but she believes there is a purpose to her pain. She wholeheartedly believes that people deserve to be seen, heard, loved, and valued; that's how healing truly happens. She's a mom, a bilingual educator, and a fierce supporter of her community.
