The newest episode of SHEro is officially here! This week, TYLA President Alyson Martinez sits down with Berry Crowley - the first woman to ever serve as TYLA President - for a powerful, intimate conversation about what it means to lead when no one before you has looked like you.

In this episode, Berry reflects on her groundbreaking presidency with honesty, grit, and an unapologetic commitment to showing up authentically. She shares what it was like to step into a role where she had no blueprint, how she pushed through doubt and resistance, and why being “first” is never the finish line - it’s the beginning of a wider path for others.

It’s an episode filled with wisdom, courage, and the kind of inspiration that reminds us why representation matters and why women’s leadership transforms organizations.

The conversation also features reflections from former TYLA presidents: Justice Karin Crump and Jo Ann Merica - who was the second woman to lead TYLA - adding powerful context to Berry’s legacy and the path she helped shape.
