“My story is one of persistence — but it’s also one of community, because none of us rise alone.” - Rep. Junie Joseph

In this episode of The Cause Podcast, Dr. Reiland Rabaka speaks with State Representative Junie Joseph, a dynamic legislator representing Colorado’s District 10. Born in Haiti and now serving in the Colorado General Assembly, Representative Joseph shares her remarkable journey of resilience, civic engagement, and community-centered leadership.

The discussion explores themes of representation, equity, and belonging, how her lived experience as an immigrant and woman of color informs her approach to policymaking and advocacy. Dr. Rabaka and Rep. Joseph also reflect on the role of education, activism, and mentorship in shaping a more inclusive democracy.

Their conversation highlights how stories like Joseph’s are vital to understanding modern movements for justice and empowerment, and why representation matters not just in politics, but in every sphere of society.
