"As part of our Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month celebrations, Sandra led a powerful session on inclusive design, weaving in her personal narrative, which she delivered with courage and openness. Her ability to use stories to build empathy and connection inspired our team to consider how we can design everything — from our internal policies to our products —with an equity and inclusion lens."
