In this episode of the DTRH Podcast, I sit down with Sandra Perez, a 30-something L.A. native and first-generation Mexican-American, for an open and compelling conversation. Sandra shares what it’s like working in law and navigating the unique pressures of being a first-gen woman, especially in a world quick to assume that a “pretty girl” must be someone’s baby momma.
We dive deep into how she’s defying expectations, prioritizing her personal growth and career over tradition, and creating a life on her own terms. As we trade stories about relationships and reflect on the lessons we’ve learned, the conversation takes a personal turn—revealing a deeper connection between us that neither of us quite expected.
This episode takes you down the rabbit hole of identity, ambition, love, and self-discovery—showing just how unpredictable the path to finding yourself can be.
