Video Q&A: Univisión's Nayeli Chavez-Geller on Women in Journalism

In an interview with AS/COA Online, Univisión Correspondent Nayeli Chavez-Geller discusses her career as a woman in journalism. Despite certain stereotypes about women and, particularly, Latinas in news media and television, Chavez-Geller describes her experience as one with women in leadership positions. But she does note a shift in the past decade, from a time of less solidarity between women over balancing work-life challenges to a more recent theme of mentorship, or "the movement of women helping other women." She notes a heightened social responsibility among women to lend each other a hand, saying: "It's like a new trend. I hope it stays."

This interview was conducted on the sidelines of the event "Cultivating the Next Generation of Female Leaders" held by the AS/COA Women's Hemispheric Network in October 2013. Learn more at: www.as-coa.org/women
