Building a Path As She Goes While Making a Difference for Others: Meet Inclusive Latina Leader, Anna Sanchez
What is your personal story?
Growing up in Littleton, Colorado was weird. As a white-passing, mixed-race kid with divorced parents, I felt like I only ever partially fit in my social circles. I always loved learning and social justice/activism, but had no idea what I wanted to do or who I wanted to be when I grew up. In college, I was all over the place and volunteered on reproductive rights campaigns, anti-human trafficking collaboratives, and gang-reduction initiatives. I enjoyed the work, but wasn't super sold on going into social work or human services but I ended up pursuing that anyway. I learned a lot about myself and about the field but kept coming back to that same feeling from when I was a kid: that I wasn't fully where I needed to be. So, after a whopping 5 years in human services/social work (including the time I was in college), I switched to conservation. I've been lucky to find an organization that's committed to environmental conservation and Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice and that aligns with my values.
What key moments in your life led you to where you are today?
My grandparents were always taking me on camping trips or day trips to the mountains, and my mom and I would go hiking a lot. This taught me so much about the importance of being connected to and appreciative of nature. My grandparents and I were usually the only People of Color at our campground or on the hiking trail, so now, one of my biggest passions is reconnecting BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ people with the land and with nature. While I was in human services, I saw so many examples of the systemic and historic oppressions that communities had to overcome, which helped fuel my passion to make change, but also opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of all issues. I didn't have a set plan or vision for what I would do or where I would go, which was stressful at times, but ultimately, that's what got me to where I am today, and I am very happy with that. Sometimes, it's better to build your path as you go, one step at a time, than to follow a road that you or someone else laid out for you.
Where does your passion to serve come from?
My passion to serve comes from knowing that it's our generation that will change the world for the better. There's so much publicity around how bad things are right now, but I know that we young people are the ones we've been waiting for. We're seeing more young people involved in social justice and advocacy than ever before and it's working. As a generation, we are finding our voice and using it to build a more just and equitable world, and that gives me so much hope.
How can GlobalMindED help you reach your goals?
GlobalMindED can help me reach my goals by helping me build my network and connecting all of us as we try to make this world better than we found it.
