Last week, program alumna Gina Malagold ’22 was featured in an article from FIERCE Magazine, which amplifies the voices, stories, and experiences of Latinas and women of color. In the article, they discuss Gina’s work tackling the fentanyl crisis, which disproportionately affects the Latino community. One of Gina’s significant initiatives is La Nueva Drug Talk, which was just hosted on Georgetown’s campus with current students Estefania Baez and Ivana Sanchez.

We address the stigma faced within the community. We address linguistic and cultural gaps and develop creative tools. These include our learning-based scenario modules and community listening sessions to reach our communities through our content suite and community events and activations.
