154 A Creation of Reflection

In this episode, we sit down with a proud Chicana who shares what it was like growing up “brown,” balancing life between cultures. From childhood trips to Mexico and walking through the centro, to being raised in a predominantly Black neighborhood, she opens up about identity, community, her parents’ support, and becoming a teen mom while holding onto her Catholic faith.She also shares her journey through trauma and healing—from toxic relationships to a life-changing moment that affected her voice and singing. Through it all, she leans into her “cositas,” her soulful singing, and her passion for dancing, reminding us what it means to keep chasing your dreams no matter what.Guest: DezInstagram: BrownmamadezTik Tok: BrownmamadezSpotify: Mama DezSponsor: Solar X InsuranceFacebook: Solarx Auto InsuranceInstagram: solarx_insurance_agencyTiktok: solarx_insurance_05www.slxinsurance.com
