In this episode of the MíraLA Podcast, Arianna sits down with Nikki Perez for a conversation about pussy, politics, and women taking up space in leadership. A lifelong Burbank resident, social worker, working mother, and former Mayor of Burbank, Nikki brings a personal perspective to public service.
Together, we explore her journey as a Latina in politics, navigating motherhood while serving as mayor, and the relationship between local government and the entertainment industry. We also discuss representation, civic engagement, and why women’s voices matter in the decisions shaping our communities.
Part of Season 3’s “Pussy Problems,” this episode invites us to think about how our personal experiences connect to public policy and the power we have to participate, speak up, and create change.
