In this week’s episode from the HER Archives in the Before Times, I’m talking with podcaster and education advocate, Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty, about how she overcame obstacles on her path to education. Dr. Zaragoza-Petty shares the barriers first generation students encounter on their path to higher education and why it’s important for marginalized people to pursue higher education. Check out Dr. Alma’s podcasts The Red Couch http://redcouchpodcast.podbean.com/ and Prickly Pear Collective https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prickly-pear-collective/id1547924683.
