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 Francesca Mayca Wegner. A movement leader who dreams big and envisions the long-term possibilities around her, Francesca Mayca Wegner recognizes that it takes resources, access, and dedication to affect sustainable change and she has dedicated her life to that very mission.  Francesca is the co-founder of Midwest Latina(MWL), an apparel and accessories brand that makes stuff for you to wear, so you feel good about how you look, who you are, and where you come from. As two first-generation Peruvian-American sisters who were born in Chicagoland and live in Milwaukee, Francesca and her sister Gabriella have always felt passionate about finding spaces and brands that make them feel like they belong. MWL is where design and identity unite for a one-of-a-kind Midwest Latina look—where cultura meets classic. Midwest Latinas is a reflection of Francesca and Gabriella's multifaceted identities and creates space for other Midwest Latinas to be seen and celebrated. Francesca also serves as President and Chief Possibilities Officer of Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee (HPGM). Appointed in April 2021, she is an advocate, connector, and convener, and has led the organization through a record growth period with its membership, philanthropic gifts, and revenue during one of the most challenging times within the global landscape.  A trailblazer known for her advocacy of others, Francesca was recognized in 2021 by Madison365 as one of ‘Wisconsin's 36 Most Influential Latino Leaders,' as both a ‘40 Under 40 Winner' and as a ‘Power Broker & Executive to Watch' by the Milwaukee Business Journal in 2022, and BizTimes named her a 2023 ‘Notable BIPOC Executive,' which was especially meaningful as she was nominated by her HPGM team. In her free time, you can find Francesca cozying up with a good book or podcast at a local coffee shop with a cafecito in hand or spending time with her husband Ted and their dogs, Michael Jordan and Scottie. In this episode, Francesca tells us how she had to leave her people-pleasing tendencies behind to become her most authentic self. As a survivor of domestic violence, she's had to learn how to read the emotions of others and diffuse any and all tension in order to survive. And as an adult, she still felt she had to use these same survival tactics at work, even when she's the executive. But by catering to everyone else's needs, she was neglecting her own. It wasn't until she was insulted behind closed doors and heard that she “wasn't brown enough” to count as diversity within her company, that she decided to put down the weight of people-pleasing and start speaking up for herself.

Tune in to learn more about how to be an ally, turn one's passions into one's life's work and contribute to creating meaningful impact. Episode Highlights04:00 - A leadership theme I'd like to lift up around voice and vision is the important connection to becoming an ally in social impact work. Especially as a professional in marketing communications, the word ‘voice' is multifaceted when it comes to change-making work.06:17 - I believe in being connected to something greater than oneself. It's an individual choice though, and contemplating one's purpose may or may not combine personal and professional motivation. It can be an aspiration, but it's certainly not the only way to reach fulfillment in one's life. 15:37 - Combining collective voice and vision is advancing a narrative change. Throughout neighborhoods and with donors and non-profit partners and public officials, we do have opportunity, and some momentum is indicating that transformational racial equity and inclusion is possible and happening.

Thelma A. Sias, retired executive and the founder and president of the Sias Group, shares how her childhood and personal story influenced her capacity to lead and why she believes great leadership involves the ability to listen and follow other people. Sias discusses the importance of leading through critical conversations, as well as enabling others to grow as leaders themselves. Importantly, Sias reflects on the remarks she gave when receiving an honorary doctorate from Marquette University in May 2022, during which she charged the audience to create access and opportunity for others, which she believes is how individuals should define their success. Episode Highlights:03:56 - The challenge we are having in today's world, in my opinion, is the fact that we are still struggling with women being in powerful leadership roles. With all of the experience we've had of the success of how women lead, we still struggle with that. And we're still struggling with the issue of younger leaders, leaders that have a different lifestyle. And I think we all need to get over it and understand this message about the table having everyone there, the tent being big enough to include everyone, is significant. We're living in a world that has changed and it continues to change. And if we don't get ourselves ready forward versus constantly going backwards, we're going to delay the enormous progress in this community, in the state, in this world that we need to have.07:42 - My parents were probably the most significant leaders I've ever met in that they led. They took action. They made change happen. They raised 11 kids and sent us all off to college with a combination of athletic and academic scholarships. And they built a principle for us all to work from.17:00 - The resilience to be able to stand up when so many people are pushing you down and the resilience to still believe in yourself when so many people are saying it should not be.

This week on the pod, we welcome Imagine MKE's Antoine Carter. Antoine is the Director of Neighborhood Partnerships and was the original employee of Imagine MKE. First, in the intro, David and Lindsay lament a lack of Gen Z references to draw from with Mac away on vacation. They discuss their own transformative professional development opportunities, including Lindsay's entrepreneurship award for a music programming organization that she founded and led, and David's experience as an NGen fellow within American Express's nonprofit leadership academy. Antoine joins the conversation around 16:15, and reflects on his journey achieving his longtime goal of being voted one of the Milwaukee Business Journal's 40 Under 40 in the 2022 class. In the conversation, Antoine details the experience of being part of the 2022 cohort, and highlights his ethos of “doing things fly”—for example, the balance of being bold enough to love pineapple on pizza, or to rock a turquoise suit at the 40 Under 40 awards ceremony, while still always leading with mission first. The team discuss Antoine's strength of vulnerability in his leadership, and the comfort he feels with being an arbiter of productive discomfort. Antoine reflects his pride in seeing collaborators in community work thriving and growing alongside him over the years.   Follow Antoine Carter's work @ImagineMKE and sign up for his work group at http://www.imaginemke.org/ (www.ImagineMKE.org) 407 Ephemera https://www.luther.edu/entrepreneurship-club/awards/Erdman/ (The Erdman Prize for Entrepreneurship) https://www.facebook.com/WaterStMusic/ (Water Street Music) https://independentsector.org/programs/ngen/ngenfellows/ (The NGen Fellows Program) https://philanthropynewyork.org/news/2012-ngen-fellows-project-hacking-ngen-experience (The 2012 NGen Project to democratize Leadership Development) https://imaginemke.sharepoint.com/:i:/s/Staff/EX0C7Q4XjUBMok58XSIgJYkBPi6R84wUxU0J7f8Y4xLWKQ?e=JtbYW4 (Celebration MURAL) https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2022/03/24/40-under-40-antoine-carter-imagine-mke.html (Antoine Carter: 40 Under 40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbEGmwoLJQ (Antoine's 40 under 40 Award Presentation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb3Yup-sXj4 (IMKE Congrats and Celebration Video)
