Episode 6 of 'A Tu Salud' features Odilia Romero, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Comunidades Indígenas en Liderazgo (CIELO).

Odilia Romero has dedicated her life to advocating for indigenous rights, identity, and language access. As a Zapotec woman from Oaxaca, she navigated the challenges of being an indigenous migrant in the U.S. and has become a powerful voice for indigenous communities nationwide.

Join this engaging conversation between two trailblazing women as they explore the intersection of Indigenous and Latine health justice. In this episode, Dr. Seciah Aquino and Odilia Romero discuss the need for narrative change within the Latine community, the invisibility of indigenous struggles, and the importance of building true allyship. Odilia shares insights from her work with CIELO, highlights her powerful advocacy for indigenous language access, and recounts her landmark moments, from appearing in Vogue to giving a TED talk.
