In this episode of the Then What Happened podcast show host Amelia Robinson speaks with Columbus City Councilwoman Lourdes Barroso de Padilla.

The former latchkey kid and current city councilwoman took me on a 10-speed adventure through her childhood growing up on Columbus’ East side where Mrs. Gamble was the unofficial neighborhood reporter.

Lourdes tells me why everyone should earn more money, why she is a proud daughter of immigrants on a mission to change hearts and how her superpower, laughter and determination help her through the challenge of being in the room where decisions are made.
