A proud San Antonio native, GOJ opens up about her coming out journey, the challenges she faced during Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and how those experiences shaped her path in leadership. From serving as Under Secretary of the Air Force—where she made history—to stepping into the political arena as a mayoral candidate, she shares her passion for the city she calls home. We dive into her military career, her fight for equality, and her vision for San Antonio's future. This is an episode you won't want to miss!
