Meet Seny Taveras, a Dominican-American Latina dynamo with a purpose. Listen to Seny reflect upon growing up in the Dominican Republic, Washington Heights (northern Manhattan) as well as other locations. 

Gain insight into how this former public servant started a career in public service which enabled her to work in many high profile positions namely as Chief of Staff,  Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez (D - District 10 - Washington Heights/Inwood/Marble Hill); Special Assistant, New York State (NYS) Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security; Special Counsel for NYS Senator David A. Paterson just to name a few. 

Seny and I discuss issues that pervade Black and Brown communities, impending changes in the current NYS gubernatorial office, why women must mentor and support each other more, and how she is making a difference in the educational sector now. 

Thank you Seny for your candid responses to our "Wait, What?" questions.
