Hola mi gente. This week I speak with Delia Jasso, a self-describes Hispanic and Tejana who is several generations deep in her Dallas roots. 
Delia Jasso is a lifelong citizen of Dallas and was elected to the Dallas City Council in June 2009, representing District 1 from May 2011 until 2013. She was named a 2018 Minority Business Leader Honoree by the Dallas Business Journal, and received an award on February 20, 2018 where her work as Board Chair of Texans Can Academies was highlighted.
Currently she owns a consulting business that deals with governmental affairs and education. 
In this episode we speak to Delia regarding the transformation (and sometimes last thereof) of Dallas and the opportunities that have developed within the Latinx community. From her days as one of six Hispanic students at Southern Methodist University (SMU) to seeing the rise of the Hispanic vote and power in Dallas County, Delia has seen integral chance in Dallas and is helping to transform it further. 
She is now a consultant and is the creator of the University of Texas at Arlington and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Transportation Leadership Academy.

The Wine & Chisme Podcast was created to share the stories of everyday people doing extraordinary things to serve their community. Our host, Jessica Yañez brings her love for wine and passion for storytelling together to highlight the stories that need to be told in communities of color. Chisme (Spanish for gossip) comes from the interviewees themselves as they "spill the wine" on their own terms. So grab a glass of wine and join us for the new Wednesday. #WineAndChismeWednesday
