Shining a light on the Dominicans who are making an impact on and for our community -- from Florida to Portland and all points in between.
Born in DR, Julia Mejia made history Election Day when she became the first Latina and Dominicana to win a seat on the Boston City Council.
For us here at Que Lo Que, the victory was emocionante from afar because we can connect so much with her story. Rising from poverty to be the first in her family to go and graduate college. Returning home to get involved in non-profit, education and civic engagement work. Stepping up to meet the next leadership challenge by running for office.
However, history is now on hold, as her razor thin margin of victory has triggered a recount. How did this single mom without ties to City Hall ties manage to get this far? What's her vision, not just fo the Council but for her community? Hear the answers from Julia herself and learn how you can help her seal this important victory.
