To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Nely interviews the iconic Dolores Huerta.
Dolores Huerta is one of the most important women of our century. She is an iconic civil rights activist, women’s rights leader, and social justice advocate who created the famous rallying cry, ‘Sí se puede”. 
Dolores has led an extraordinary life, becoming a powerful voice for farmworkers and women, standing up to racism and discrimination, surviving near-death police violence, and affecting policy change and new laws, (all while raising children and going through divorce). Her work has earned multiple awards including The Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama, the highest civilian award in the United States.
Honed over her lifetime as an activist, Dolores gives insight on how Latinas can embrace our power, come together and organize to create positive change.
