5. Identity and Tradition (with Eder Díaz Santillan)

Former radio host and producer Eder Díaz Santillan grew up in the north-central Mexican state of Jalisco and spent the majority of his childhood going back and forth between Mexico and Southern California. ⁣ After settling down in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Eder pursued a career in journalism which eventually led him to the creation of his now celebrated podcast “De Pueblo, Catholico y Gay,”  a project that continues to be the driving force behind his message of representation and inclusiveness, particularly within the Latinx LBGTQ+ community. ⁣ Eder and I chatted about the his small town artisanal upbringing, how his relationship with God has changed throughout the years, and why garage  sales are his first American memory. ⁣ @depueblocatolicoygay
