The personal is political and the political is personal. Mental health is both personal and political! It's about viewing the person as a whole within a larger system. My guest today really, really gets this.
Lawyer and mayoral candidate, Veronica Carbajal, is a guest on today's episode to talk about her views on politics and mental health. If you are an El Pasoan, this episode provides a window into our city politics. We talk about #BLM, the City's COVID-19 response, gentrification, and Vero's plan on changing the City's governmental landscape. Get ready for some truth bombs #realtalk #therealdeal!
