Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Leadership with Viva La Feminista's Veronica I. Arreola
Description
Feminist activist and writer Veronica I. Arreola joins host Sabrina Cartan to talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer through the lens of leadership. A hardcore Buffy fan since the 90s and advocate for Latinx students, staff, and administrators at the University of Illinois Chicago, Veronica talks about how Buffy shapes the way she approaches leadership, and how the Scooby Gang's collaborative spirit can inspire us all. Recently elected as Councilor for Chicago's 24th Police District, Veronica shares her vision for future police accountability and how Chicago citizens can play a role in the development of public safety policy.
