In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kimberly Jones, a proud Latina, first-generation college graduate, and one of the less than one percent of Latinas in the U.S. who hold a doctorate. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Jones is a dynamic higher education leader and champion for equity and representation. She designs programs that empower student leaders, build belonging, and drive meaningful change from the inside out.
We talk about the power of representation, finding your voice in spaces that weren’t built for you, and what it truly takes to lead with authenticity. Dr. Jones shares how she broke through barriers, claimed her seat at the table, and uses her story to open doors for others.
Don’t miss her commencement speech, a moment of pride that perfectly captures her leadership and vision.
