Embracing Identity, Leading with Purpose: Dr. Jeannette Allen on the Latino Leaders Podcast

✨ I’m honored to share my recent conversation with Pablo Muñoz on the Latino Leaders Podcast! 🎙️Being invited to reflect on my leadership journey—shaped by my identity as a bilingual, bicultural, and biracial woman; the daughter of an immigrant mother from Ecuador and an African American father—was a truly meaningful experience. Thank you, Pablo, for creating a space where Latino voices in education are celebrated, challenged, and lifted. Your platform gives us the opportunity to tell our stories, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of it. In this episode, I talk about:

✔️ How being bilingual and navigating two cultures shaped my passion for education

✔️ Why language learners are at the heart of my mission

✔️ What it means to lead with love, clarity, and cultural responsiveness

✔️ And how I’ve learned to see my intersectional identity as a source of strength, not limitationI hope my story resonates with fellow educators, leaders, and anyone finding their voice in this work.
