- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) March 22, 2022 - Olga Abinader, Director of Environmental Review and Land Use Planning, (Matrix) was featured on Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.
During a lengthy conversation with Host Jodi Grinwald, they discussed Abinader’s background, how she overcame diversity and her current leadership position at Matrix.
There is still much work to be done to improve the livelihoods of working Latina mothers. One avenue is to increase assistance to educational opportunities. Abinader explained, "There is a responsibility on us to continue to raise that awareness and to connect with the right changemakers in order to find a way to bring us out of this pattern."
Abinader also emphasized, "It really starts with understanding what the issue is, bring it to light, create awareness, and then engage a community of leaders that are accessible, approachable, and care so, together, we can change that reality and improve the metric." This can be done by creating mentorship programs and having outside influences help where they can as well.
