Her Vision
“It’s an honor & a privilege for me to coach CEOs, Directors, Managers, Executive Union Leaders and Rank & File Union Members in overcoming insecurities in order to confidently step into their highest potential. It’s important to integrate any practice which may support you in serving a greater number of people from a full cup! Through my work with our L.A. Wombyn’s Council, I get to play with a powerful group of feminine beings, and through the sacred ceremonial space we co-create, we become more graceful.”
Born in Toluca, Mexico; raised in Los Angeles, California; and having sparked her career within our Union Movement in San Diego, Geshalem believes it has been an honor & a privilege to have supported hundreds of immigrants like her in applying to also become a USA citizen. Since 2008, Geshalem has been actively casting her voice in elections as a permanent absentee/mail-in voter every two years or more if there’s a special election.
After a short stint at Los Angeles Pierce Community College, Geshalem transferred to and graduated from San Diego State University in 2007 earning a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, with an emphasis in Diversity and Change. Since then, she has been actively involved in our Union Movement, supporting to empower workers and strengthen our middle class. She has also registered hundreds to vote and has both lead and participated in various political campaigns in California, Ohio, Nevada, Florida, Maryland, and Arizona, for candidates, measures, and propositions that support working families.
