What happens when a little girl from one of San Antonio’s highest-poverty neighborhoods refuses to let her zip code define her future? In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Adriana Rocha Garcia shares how growing up translating for her parents and neighbors shaped her heart for service and led her from Zip Code Zero to earning a PhD and becoming a leader committed to changing lives. These show notes follow podcast best practices for creating a strong hook, expanding on key takeaways, and providing guest information.
Dr. Adriana Rocha Garcia, President and CEO of the Center for Health Empowerment in South Texas (CHEST), joins Jen Maldonado to talk about purpose, leadership, motherhood, and why serving her community mattered more than chasing a bigger paycheck.
Growing up in Indian Creek, a neighborhood marked by poverty and crime, Adriana became the first person in her family to attend college and one of the first Hispanic women to earn a doctorate from UT Austin. Today, she is leading efforts to close the life expectancy gap between the north and south sides of San Antonio and create healthier futures for underserved communities.
