Paola Mendoza is an accomplished film director, activist, and author. A co-founder of The Women’s March, she served as its Artistic Director and co-authored the New York Times bestseller, Together We Rise: Behind the Scenes at the Protest Heard around the World.
Paola is also a co-founder of The Soze Agency and has been the creative director for campaigns fighting for immigration reform, criminal justice reform, and incarcerated mother’s and women’s rights. She is a co-founder and Artistic Director of the critically acclaimed, Resistance Revival Chorus (which I am a proud member of).
In this episode, Paola gives us the chance to understand why she does what she does, how her mother has been a huge influence on her, how she’s braved difficult conversations with her 5-year-old about today’s current climate, when she realized that love is more effective than anger when doing her advocacy work, and so much more!
