   Everything you have been waiting for is here in Season 4! I am kicking off the season opener of the Latinas with Masters Podcast with Doctora Mara Noemí Lopez, the inaugural Director of the Hispanic Serving Institution Research Center at the University of Arizona.

Much Love Always ~ Dra. Christina Rodriguez
