Bridge to Better

23 - Daisy Martinez - San Diego, CA

Giving the People a Voice Episode 23

Meet Daisy, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor in San Diego.  The academy Daisy works at had to quickly adjust, like many other small businesses, to the ever-changing covid19 restrictions.  Initially this resulted in virtual sessions as well as a loss of students.  Now the school has brought back limited in person training as well as keeping zoom classes.

In this episode we talk about how Daisy got into Jiu Jitsu and started teaching it, how she's adapted to the pandemic, and how it has all changed her life.  We also talk about her childhood, specifically growing up as a Mexican-American, and dealing with the pressure of proving her American-ness.
