Yvanna Cancela planned to join the Peace Corps after college, but decided at the last minute to move to Las Vegas instead. Years of working for a union there taught her how important it is to fight for the rights of citizens and workers. That turned out to be good training when, in 2017, she was appointed to the Nevada Senate. She was just 30, and Nevada's first ever Latina Senator. ~~~ Yvanna says if you’re a women and you’ve ever had an inkling to run for office – now’s the time to do it! If you’re thinking about it, sheshouldrun.org is a great resource. ~~~ You can learn more about Yvanna here: www.yvannafornv.com/ ~~~ We post updates about the show and our guests on Instagram @arielhudes. ~~~ The artwork in our logo is by artist Caris Reid.
