A whiskey expert, and Elisa's cousinDiana just taught a whiskey glass masterclass inside The Casita Community as part of our Modern Latina Festival.In this episode we cover:The Modern Latina Festival Recap A week of free virtual events inside The Casita Community. The week ended with a virtual Bad Bunny paint and our sold out Bad Bunny Bingo Brunch at Ruta Oaxaca on Long Island. 50 women. One man. Dressed to impress.The Next Event Announcement We are doing it again. This time the theme is Selena Sing Along Bingo. Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.Becky G, Selena & The 200% Latina Experience Becky G went on the Jay Shetty podcast and talked about the feeling of being told you are not from here and not from there at the same time. That is the feeling that inspired the name of this podcast. Diana shares her own version of that story. Growing up Dominican, being called the gringa in DR and too Dominican in America. Elisa connects it to Selena, who faced the exact same thing. MTV VMAs, Music & Growing Up Between Two Cultures Diana grew up in the Dominican Republic watching MTV as her only window into American music. She wanted to be a VJ. The music took three years to arrive on the island. Now she works in video AI. The dreams find a way.We get into the VMAs, iconic red carpet moments, Reggaeton before it had a name here, and why knowing how something is made changes how much you love it.Weddings — Three of Them Tiffany is getting married on the 250th anniversary of America and is blending Irish and Dominican cultures in one room. We talk kilts, merengue, and whether anyone is wearing underwear. Diana got married in Corona, Queens with a belly dancer and a Jodeci first dance that started at prom.Elisa booked a Típico band one week before the wedding after seeing them at someone else's. Tiffany was a flower girl in nine weddings growing up and thinks that is exactly why she became an event planner.Whiskey, Cigars & The Moments That Matter Diana breaks down what she and her husband drink together, why the right glass changes everything, how to pair whiskey with a cigar, and why those quiet moments with your partner are the ones that carry a relationship.And a little more Elisa's upcoming Newsday feature on Long Island side hustles. Diana's experience with ketamine therapy and why she says it lifted her depression in a way nothing else had. And the vision for what The Casita is supposed to feel like, exactly like this conversation.🎙️ Full Episode: https://youtu.be/Cn8UcIwQIaM?si=8xfCp6pNHhiKMS3R🏠 Join The Casita Community — a private space for Gen Z, Millennial and Gen X Latinas to reconnect with their culture, find their people, and feel at home: https://casita.circle.so/HomepageFollow Us on Social: https://www.instagram.com/200percentlatinapodcast/Find Diana: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thescotchmother/
