033. Building the Confidence to Use Spanish at Work

In this episode, we chat with Carmen Blanco. A Washington D.C. native who now lives in South Carolina, she works for an agency that’s supported by the University of South Carolina whose whole mission is to increase the health incomes of the community. Basically, she trains healthcare workers to help them bridge clients to necessary resources.   Recently, Carmen was able to translate a webinar curriculum for community health workers. She said it was great to see how much she knew in Spanish and how she could identify spots where she could make the translation more "conversational" Spanish rather than formal. Because of that & being able to sit in that class with “promotores de salud,” she felt comfortable not only being in that space but possibly seeing herself being able to navigate in the Spanish-speaking professional world.  Carmen’s ~recomendaciones~  Amor y Traición en Telemundo Karaoke: Juanes, La India Podcasts: El Hilo, Radio Ambulante, La Brega, LOUD Instagram Accounts: Belly of the Beast, Liz Oliva Fernández, Bianca Graulau, Centam_beauty, Joel Gaitan Connect with Carmen Blanco: LinkedIn Connect with Spanish Sin Pena: Website IG: @spanishsinpena TikTok: @spanishsinpena Connect with Suzy Exposito:  Twitter: @HexPositive IG: @brujacore Website Connect with Liz Sánchez: Twitter: @lizbetsanch IG: @lizbetsanch LinkedIn
