In our first episode, we introduce you to Mona, a Sacramento State student who has persevered and kept her college dream alive despite daunting challenges. She has faced difficulties meeting basic needs such as food and housing as well as domestic violence and severe health challenges. And has kept going – finishing the Spring 2020 semester online along with nearly 30,000 other Sacramento State students.

Our co-host is Danielle Munoz, director of the Sacramento State CARES office, who shares her perspective on how students and others in the community can find themselves in trouble despite making good choices — and how the community can bring resources and support to change lives by changing situations.

Mona's story of challenge and determination will inspire you.
