Forging new paths doesn't require special skills or experience to get started.  Graciela Carrillo shares her inspiring story of becoming an advocate for women, minorities, immigrants and young professionals in the architecture community.

You don't make an impact by yourself. Build a container for others who care about an issue to join you. Together you inspire each other.
Decide what you're passionate about. Find the data and use the numbers to show where and how you can make a difference (as well as the results once you take action).
You qualify yourself. Say yes to things that matter to you because you bring value not just through expertise, but through the network you can build, people you can inspire, and message you can spread. Just telling your story will inspire others.
Act in an organic way according to your priorities and opportunities will arise. Be willing to look at multiple scales and formats for sharing a message.
Seek out mentors to help you grow. As you grow, others can grow along with you.
