Show Notes

Our Season 3 premiere features Dianne Prado, Founder and Executive Director of the Housing Equity & Advocacy Resource Team (HEART LA), a unique non-profit that was truly born from the heart. 
 
Heart LA is a legal non-profit that helps ensure people and their pets remain housed. 
Dianne's compelling story reveals the values, mind-set and skills she's used create meaningful and impactful work, despite the challenges of many odds - not the least of which was discrimination in many forms.  Maddie's Fund® Executive Leadership Team member Mary Ippoliti-Smith hosts the discussion and Q+A. 

Dianne is an appointed public member of the CA Veterinary Medical Board, trainer and consultant for the Stay Housed Los Angeles (SHLA) eviction defense program, and Lecturer in Law for UCLA Law School teaching Los Angeles Housing Law and Policy.
