ABOUT Ligia montano
LIGIA MONTANO
Ligia comes from a working-class Latino family. All her life, her parents set a good example for her. She grew up in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. She’s a single mother living in the Portola District. She became a parent organizer at her daughter’s pre-school, and later she worked as parent organizer at Coleman Advocates for Children and Youth. At Coleman she worked with parents whose children experience all kinds of injustice. Currently, she works for Senior and Disability Action (SDA). For over 10 years Ligia has been working for changes in the way our city marginalizes seniors and persons with disabilities.

ABOUT INDÓMITAS
Indómitas is a live podcast series hosted by Chelis López of KPOO and Radio Bilingüe, featuring interviews with fierce women artists and activists
Each month in Brava’s Cabaret, Indómitas will interview female singers, writers, poets, activists, artists, journalists, filmmakers, and others – some well-known and some deserving to be – for live broadcast. These 60-minute conversations will cover the women’s stories of achievement, pitfalls, and hopes for their futures.
Be ready for open and honest conversations, where intimacy fosters the sharing of joy, fear, acceptance, and ultimately, the strength of women. It’s our time to be the ones who narrate our stories of who we are, what we do, what matters to us and how we organized and stand up for our rights.
Indómitas Podcast Series will be available through Chelis López’ website, and other platforms.
