He has worked to ensure that our infrastructure empowers marginalized communities and addresses the housing crisis with initiatives for affordable housing and homeownership. For nearly the past year, the Council has approved 40 land use applications that will result in over 12,000 projected new housing units, of which over 63 percent are affordable. Under Council Member Kevin C. Riley's leadership as Co-Chair of the Black, Latino, and Asian Caucus, the caucus has passed the historic FDNY Diversity bill package.

After transcribing the episode into the Plurawl app, the emotional word that summarized the journal entry was...exhilarated. Exhilarated = A feeling of excitement, happiness, or elation.

These updates are bringing him a sense of liberation...despite a few uncertainties about the public reception and social media algorithm influences. During the episode, Pabel reflects on the role that authenticity plays in the creative process, especially as a Tech Founder/ CEO. Although there is a desire to be vulnerable and push the boundaries of professionalism, it doesn't mean that there isn't any self-doubt or worry about being the representation...that he desperately wants to see in the world.

Raised by a single mother who was undocumented for most of her childhood, she was forced at an early age to speak up on behalf of her mother and others who felt ignored by the very institutions that were supposed to serve them.  As a proud graduate of the Boston Public Schools, she was the first in her family to graduate high school and college and the first to purchase her own home in Boston. Driven by a lifelong pursuit of justice and equity, she is proud to have created countless opportunities for others to step into their power and advocate for positive change. She created and led a civic engagement group focused on voter registration, is the founder of a nonprofit education network, and worked on national social justice campaigns as a producer for MTV. In this week's episode, I meet up with Boston's City Councilor Julia Mejia to discuss her journey towards politics. As a first-generation Dominican American child, she often found herself advocating for her community as she was translating for them. As an adult, she continued to advocate for her community as the first Latina reporter for MTV's News and Docs category. Julia joined politics as an experiment - she wanted to see if she could run and win and uplift her community. And she won by one vote! Check out all this and more in Julia's episode.  Follow Julia on: Website: https://www.juliaforboston.com/  Instagram: @juliaforboston  Follow Pabel on: Website: https://plurawl.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plurawl/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@plurawl  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pabelmartinez/  Join our Personal Mindset Coach App's Waitlist here!

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Pedro Fortunato.  As an American-Dominican born and raised in the melting pot of an environment that is New York City, Pedro Fortunato has been sonically influenced by many styles of music. The genre styles he chooses to interpret range from Bachata to Bolero, Merengue, Afro-Dominican Rhythms & their fusions, as well as hints of Rock, R&B, Jazz & Hip Hop. With the experimentation of blending genres and pushing the boundaries of certain cultural musical norms, Pedro Fortunato manages to deliver a truly unique sonic experience in a contemporary fashion while highlighting his Dominican roots. In this week's episode, Pedro shares how he broke away from the expectations of his family and became a professional musician. Growing up, Pedro knew that he was the oddball of the family. He spent his days playing instruments and dreaming of a career in the music industry. But he knew his family did not approve, so he left home to learn by experience. He joined local Dominican bands and studied in conservatories to hone his craft. Now he's a Spotify-verified artist with over 40,000 listens across the platform. Listen to hear more about his journey and how he found the courage to perform in front of thousands of fans.  Follow Pedro on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6QHWI8UZiwnuJHWbhfJMGT?si=D3myZAwxSYODmbOEjFZQOg&nd=1&dlsi=fc9173bfdbb949d0  Website: https://www.pedrofortunatomusic.com/  Instagram: @/pedrofortunatomusic/  Follow Pabel on: Website: https://plurawl.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plurawl/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@plurawl  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pabelmartinez/  Join our Personal Mindset Coach App's Waitlist here!

I've been hesitant to talk about the specific features of the Plurawl app that we're launching in May. I fear that a big tech company will see the product and steal my idea...and this whole startup life is over. How likely is it that it happens though? No one truly knows, because it's impossible to predict the future. That said, we all swear that we can because we make up these stories in our heads every day. The funny part about it...is that they are rarely positive stories that we tell ourselves. Why don't I tell myself a story that involves me talking about what we're building...the post goes viral...and millions of people sign up for the App Launch Waitlist? The dilemma is that I fear talking about it because someone may steal my idea, but if I don't talk about it...then there wouldn't even be users for the product. Welp...I'll be "building in public" (as the tech folks say) and talking more openly about the Self-Discovery Coach that we're launching in May.

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Janelle J. Romero.  After graduating from the 2-year Honors Program at New York Law School, Janelle began her career defending employees who were illegally underpaid by their employers. While she thoroughly enjoyed her work and the clients she served (mostly undocumented immigrants), she sought to expand her knowledge within employment law and began working for a firm that specialized in workplace discrimination and sexual harassment claims. As someone who had personally experienced sexual harassment and stalking while in law school, Janelle took a personal interest in representing workers who had faced similar experiences in the workplace with little to no protections afforded to them. Hundreds of represented employees later, Janelle joined a hiring and payroll startup as the Leader of Labor Affairs and oversaw legal matters relating to labor and employment law, business contracts, and general counseling work as needed. Janelle founded Gen Esq Law to provide quality affordable legal options to small businesses and employees. Through her TikTok educational videos, Janelle continues to dedicate her time and talents to helping make the workplace a more fair, appropriate, and prosperous environment for all. In this week's episode, Janelle tells all about her life as a Latina in law and how she found herself opening her own practice. As a kid, her father instilled a lot of confidence in herself and her actions. Today she uses the same confidence she's learned to feel comfortable in every room she's in and win her cases. She uses TikTok to spread awareness about NYC labor and discrimination laws and is currently accepting clients. Listen to this episode to hear all about her incredible journey to becoming a founder and a viral sensation.

Sign Up for the App Launch waitlist; on schedule to launch in May 2024. ------ This week's been a rollercoaster. Caught myself getting judgmental after an anxiety nap, questioning the realness of my feelings. It's been hard, honestly feeling a bit emotional and just craving a hug from my Abuela. Despite trying to stick to my ideal morning routine—waking up early, hydrating, journaling, hitting the gym—I've been thrown off, especially when my schedule doesn't go as planned. Ironically, marking my three-year anniversary out of corporate life made me reflect on the importance of routine for my mental health. Yet, I've struggled with self-doubt, especially on days I felt unproductive. A successful speaking engagement gave me a moment of validation, reminding me why I do what I do, despite the internal battles with imposter syndrome. I've realized it's crucial to celebrate the wins, no matter how small, and change the narrative I tell myself. Taking care of my mental health is essential, not a sign of weakness. It's about being kind to ourselves, recognizing our accomplishments, and understanding our worth isn't tied to productivity. As I look forward to the launch of the Plurawl app, it's a reminder to stay true to ourselves and cherish those moments of joy and validation. Learn more about your ad choices.

That said, one meeting seems to have shifted his whole perspective on productivity, success, and celebration.

She is manifesting good reviews for the trailer and hoping the dramedy makes its debut on HBO!  In this week's episode, Jasmine tells us how she maintained her authenticity, both in school and in the workplace. While attending Barnard, an Ivy League school, she experienced a culture shock and started to learn what was ok and was not ok to say in PWIs (predominantly white institutions). This kind of social education continued in the corporate setting where she found herself going head to head with toxic hierarchical company cultures. In the end, Jasmine decided that she would be comfortable making others uncomfortable if it meant dismantling the hierarchy that was holding her and her colleagues back.

When's the last time you tried something for the first time? After launching a Live CoWorking Stream on Twitch (follow us here), Pabel uncovers that not being a perfectionist is a strength that enables him to move faster than his peers. Launching new projects and testing them in the world doesn't make him as uncomfortable as it would most people. That said, his "done is better than perfect" mindset isn't always appreciated and it makes people around him uncomfortable. While working at Facebook, it was met with resistance.

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Ana Paola Ana Paola is a first-generation Mexican-American raised in Sacramento, CA and she has been creating content in different formats for over 7 years! When she moved to New York in June of 2021, she was in a bit of a creative slump and resorted to TikTok for entertainment, as one does. She'd scroll past endless NYC day-in-the-life videos and quickly realized those videos were not relatable to her. The creators didn't look like her, live like her, or sound like her, so she said, “Why not make my own?” And she did! But in Spanglish, because that's how her brain works. She posted her first TikTok in July of 2021 and the rest is history. Since then, she's amassed an audience of over 150,000 Spanglish speakers who finally see themselves represented in some way. She hopes to inspire others to continue to show up as they are and take up space because we belong everywhere.  In this week's episode, Ana tells us all about how she created a creative career herself even when her style of video editing wasn't popular yet. After walking away from her very religious community and being shunned by almost everyone she knew, she started fending for herself and deciding who she wanted to be. In her free time, she dove into video editing and production. Eventually, she pursued videography full-time and created funny videos for her cousins to watch while they were apart. Those same videos went viral and now you may know her as @anapaowow everyone's favorite prima. Tune into this week's episode to hear more about Ana's incredible story of strength and resilience.  Follow Ana on: Instagram: @anapaowow TikTok: @anapaowow Website: https://www.anapao.com/about  Follow Pabel on: Website: https://plurawl.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plurawl/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@plurawl  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pabelmartinez/  Join our Personal Mindset Coach App's Waitlist here!

Welcome to a brand new episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast, where we explore the conflict we often face between "professionalism" & being our authentic selves. This week's guest is Pabel Martinez. Pabel Martinez is a native New Yorker, storyteller, and former tech executive. Throughout his career, Pabel was trained to believe that many parts of his identity were unprofessional. Pabel would dedicate days out of the week to study "white popular American culture" and memorizing scripts he would later use for work conversations. He knew that talking about Bad Bunny and shows like Insecure, would not make him relatable. Instead, he would binge-watch seasons of Riverdale since it would help him build relationships with colleagues and senior leaders. The assimilation became overwhelming, and it was at the expense of his identity & mental health. As a result, Pabel's mission in life became redefining professionalism by empowering authenticity. In 2020, he launched Plurawl to bring this mission to life. In this week's episode, Pabel opens up about his recent feelings through a video journal entry. He talks about how he feels both proud of his friends for their achievements and also jealous because he would love to have the same opportunities. These conflicting feelings can be damaging to his relationships and to himself, so in this episode, he discusses how he supports his friends and their accomplishments while also holding space for his own negative feelings.  A heads up - paid subscribers of the podcast will have access to more of these personal video journal entries in 2024!  Follow Pabel on: Website: https://plurawl.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plurawl/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@plurawl  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pabelmartinez/  To book a speaking engagement email hola@plurawl.com Podcast production for this episode was provided by CCST.
