Dr. David Hayes-Bautista Reminds Us of Our Power

We are about to enter “Latino Heritage Month”, and we know that the continued onslaught on our communities casts a shadow on our celebrations. This is why we invited Dr. David Hayes-Bautista to remind us about our longstanding legacy and POWER in this country. Dr. Hayes-Bautista is a professor of medicine and director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at the School of Medicine, UCLA. Beyond that, he is also the author of “El Cinco de Mayo: An American Tradition” where he tells the fascinating story about how the US-based celebration is about much more than commemorating the battle of Puebla. We also dive into new research that underscores what we have always known, this country and especially this state, is powerful because of Latinos, not in spite of us. Tamarindo is a lighthearted show hosted by Brenda Gonzalez and Delsy Sandoval talking about politics, culture, and self-development.
