Manage episode 320365434 series 3293110
Welcome to the first episode of the first season of the Real Women Run podcast! In this episode, you'll meet our hosts Yándary Chatwin, a former chair of Real Women Run from Salt Lake County, and Nina Barnes, the vice-chair of Utah Systems of High Education and a former elected official from Southern Utah.
Our guests are Natalie Pinkney, who serves on the South Salt Lake City Council, and Ana Valdemoros who serves on the Salt Lake City Council.
Nina and Yándary chat with the councilwomen about a wide variety of topics, including why they decided to run for office, how they have grown while holding the position, and how their identities as women of color influence their work.
