Welcome to "The Art of Representation Podcast," where your host Lucia Diaz engages in illuminating conversations with remarkable individuals who are shaping their communities and breaking barriers. In today's episode, we have the pleasure of introducing you to Juliana Londoño, a proud Latina, licensed mental health therapist based in New Jersey, whose mission is to create a vital connection between mental health and the Latino/BIPOC communities.
Juliana's work is a powerful testament to her dedication. She serves as a thought leader, keynote speaker, and sought-after podcast guest, using her platform to raise awareness, provide education, and offer essential resources to those in need. Her impact extends far and wide, as she has collaborated with influential organizations such as #WeAllGrow Latina, LinkedIn News, and has even been featured on NY Pix11 News and Univision.
Currently enrolled in the Bank of America Women's Entrepreneurship Program with Cornell University, Juliana is not only a mental health advocate but also a community advocate. She actively volunteers with organizations like America Needs You-NJ and Leading Young Women, channeling her passion for positive change into meaningful actions.
Juliana's commitment to her community is not limited to her professional life. In her free time, she finds joy in figure skating, the satisfaction of completing intricate jigsaw puzzles, and the serenity of spending time in nature. She provides mental health services in both English and Spanish, offering her expertise to children, teenagers, adults, and families. Her previous roles in higher education, from Student Success to the Educational Opportunity Fund Program, have equipped her with a unique perspective and skill set.
Juliana's educational journey is a testament to her dedication and excellence. She earned her Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from Ramapo College of New Jersey, where she proudly stands as an EOF alumnus. Her pursuit of higher education led her to a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Monmouth University, where she graduated as the highest-ranking recipient in her cohort.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Juliana is an open advocate for her disability, narcolepsy, using her voice to raise awareness about this chronic neurological disorder. She leverages her presence on social media and participates in various campaigns to educate and inspire others.
In her moments of self-care, Juliana finds solace in ice skating, explores local coffee shops, and maintains her well-being through exercise at her local YMCA. And for a unique form of relaxation, she dives into the challenge of assembling 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles.
Join us in this captivating conversation as we delve into Juliana's inspiring journey, her advocacy for mental health and narcolepsy awareness, and her unwavering commitment to fostering positive change in her community and beyond.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
