Tune in to the next episode of Embracing My Markings Podcast, where I'll be chatting with my guest, Mrs. Peña, about growing up in East LA in the 80s as a Mexican American young woman.

Jaime Escalante, (the teacher that inspired James Edwards's movie "Stand and Deliver"), was Mrs. Peña's teacher at Garfield High School (she was in the class of 1985) and he inspired her to become a teacher. I am happy and proud to say she is now a teacher that just happens to be my son's teacher in high school math, what an honor! Tune in now. Visit Our Website: https://embracingmymarkings.com/
