Join Erika Washington in this enlightening episode of Sticky Note Conversations as she sits down with Lucy Flores, a former Nevada State Assemblywoman, former candidate for Congress, lawyer, media entrepreneur, and advocate. Lucy shares her journey from a challenging upbringing in Las Vegas to a significant career in public service and media. Together, they discuss the nuances of growing up in Las Vegas, the need for empathetic and customized interventions in the justice system, and the importance of courageous leadership. Lucy opens up about her reasons for transitioning from politics to launching her own digital media brand, Lose Media, which focuses on the influential U.S.-based Latina community. This episode is a deep dive into systemic issues, personal resilience, and the power of narrative in shaping communities.

What is Sticky Note Conversations?
To keep my thoughts in order and my to-do lists remotely manageable I create arrays of sticky notes on my desk and wall. New idea? Stick note! Someone I want to meet with? Sticky Note! Need to remember to pay a parking ticket? Write it on a sticky note. Over the course of the last year, I have wanted to create a podcast that allowed me to dive deep into conversations with interesting people.. I wanted to have real conversations that were more than sound bites or regurgitated talking points about fluffy topics. My hope is that each episode feels like old friends catching up. Revealing great information but also humanity, struggle, victory, joy, grief, and possibly, a flicker of transcendence.
I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do creating them.
Join me here every Saturday as I pull a new sticky note off my desk.
