Elsa Collins calls herself a doer, but she is also a builder, among the things she has built, the idea to her, a social impact and civics consultancy.

This is about humanity, which raises awareness about separated and reunified families' work

that is shaped by Elsa's own experience of growing up on both sides of the U.S. Mexico border,

Badaistas, a digital lifestyle community to help Latinas leverage their power. And I am a voter,

which is creating a

cultural shift around voting. Elsa has probably built something new in the time that I have

recorded this intro, and that is because she is one of those people who sees a problem and

immediately connects the dots between what it will take to solve it and the people she knows

who have the tools and resources necessary to get it done.

So today, we're talking about how we can each do that in our own lives, how even as someone

who understands and leverages the power of celebrity, also still believes that you are the most

influential person in your universe, and your capacity to influence those around you is second

to none.

Also, my friend, I know so much about you, but I have so many holes that I want to fill in.

You say you grew up on both sides of the border.

What was home like? And where do you consider home? My gosh, what does growing up on both sides of the border, what was home like? And where do you consider home?

My gosh, what does growing up on both sides of the border mean? I think it means to me that there really was no border. It meant waking up in Tijuana, crossing the border every day,

going to school in San Diego, coming back home to eat dinner,

going to the mall in San Diego on the weekends, or going further south to Ensenada for a meal.

So to me, growing up on both sides of the border was just like this amazing experience that I

genuinely feel so blessed I ever had.

And for me, home is, that's a really hard question.
