Description
On this special episode of LATiNAS, host Tinabeth Piña heads to the Intrepid Museum to explore the stories of #Latinas who have served in the U.S. military. From the museum’s Full Muster program, which honors the diverse experiences of those who have served, to the stories of Latina veterans navigating life after the military, we shine a light on their service, sacrifices, and resilience.
We'll learn about CUNY's office of Veteran Affairs and how some students don't even need to be a veterans to utilize it resources; correspondent Isabel Ortiz explores the mental health challenges some Latina veterans face once their military service ends; while correspondent Anny Ruiz Huayamabe reports on a young woman who enlisted in the Army to help protect her undocumented mother - highlighting the complexities of immigration and the military’s Parole in Place program.
Through these powerful and personal stories, LATiNAS celebrates the women who have served our country and reminds us that every Latina who serves has a story worth telling. #wepa
