In this episode, I switch it up with our guests! I interview journalist, activist and academic, Juan Gonzalez and his amazing daughter Gabriela Gonzalez who is following in her father's footsteps. The motivation is to gain insight on how history influences our young generations and how they impart that wisdom to continue to do the work needed for social justice. They tag team this interview and we discuss Juan's storied life as a student activist, his time with the Young Lords Party, and his passion for journalism and story-telling. For over 30 years, Juan González has been a staff columnist for the New York Daily News and he can be seen as co-host of the radio and television news program, Democracy Now! He is a founding member of the Young Lords Party and also founded the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights. Juan also received accommodations and praises for his work and won awards like the Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Hispanic Foundation, the National Council of La Raza, and the National Puerto Rican Coalition. He is a two time winner of the George Polk Award for commentary and was the first reporter in New York City to have exposed the health effects and cover up by government officials surround the Sept. 11 attacks. Gabriela Gonzalez is a second-generation American of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent. She holds a B.A. in Clinical Psychology from CUNY Hunter College and is currently pursuing her MSW. Driven by her passion for child and adolescent mental health, and values surrounding anti-racism and decolonization, Gabi hopes to become a psychotherapist and practice therapy in service of social justice. Her work is inspired by the resilience of the communities that raised her, as well as by her parents, who've used organizing, teaching, and literature as mechanisms for change.
