As News 12 continues to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Reporter Joanna Hernandez introduces a young leader who is taking what she learned from her family and pursuing her dream of running for City Council 14th District next summer.
"I can close my eyes, see myself running down the street playing, and having family over. It's family, it's a community, it's home,” said Sanchez, as she is no stranger to the ins and outs of the Bronx community.
Sanchez is an Afro-Dominican born in University Heights.
She tells News 12 more about her journey and her desire to work for the people.
