S2E2 Power in Politics | IL State Senator Karina Villa Sets the Record Straight

What does it truly mean to lead with compassion and boldness? In this holiday special of Power in Politics (Season 2, Episode 2), host Jacqueline L. Malone sits down with Illinois State Senator Karina Villa for a powerful, honest, and inspiring conversation about service, resilience, and people-centered leadership. She sets the record straight on her run-in with ICE agents in Illinois. From growing up in West Chicago as the daughter of Mexican immigrant small-business owners to her work as a school social worker to making history as the first Latina to represent Illinois’ 25th District, Senator Villa shares how her lived experience has shaped her mission in public office. As Chair of the Senate Public Health Committee, she discusses her work on mental health access, juvenile justice reform, public health, and immigration advocacy — and why these issues matter now more than ever. ✨ This episode is about service, healing, justice, and hope — a timely conversation as we reflect, reset, and look toward the future this holiday season. #juvenilejustice #news #podcastclips #interview #immigration This content is provided for entertainment and informational purposes only.
