Abstract
Bronica Latasha Martindale-Taylor discusses her experiences growing up in Westside San Bernardino. During her time at San Bernardino High School, Bronica discovered segregation and felt that the solution was to create community and break barriers by enforcing teamwork, specifically through cheerleading and softball. After graduating high school, Bronica went to Loyola Marymount University where she used dance as an outlet to connect to her culture and felt empowered by its beauty. After graduating from college, her next step in life was opening a performing arts school called Cultures in the Mix, as well as creating the "My Hair, My Health" movement to promote self-acceptance. She concludes by discussing the inspiration of earlier leaders like Amina Carter and Frances Grice, and how she envisions how leaders can make San Bernardino thrive.
