Episode 15 | Debbie Cestero D'Souza

In this episode of Once A Cardinal, Always A Cardinal, we sit down with Harlingen High School alumna Debbie Cestero D'Souza, whose remarkable life has taken her from Caracas, Venezuela, to the Rio Grande Valley, and ultimately onto the national stage.Debbie shares what it was like growing up in Venezuela before the country's dramatic political and economic transformation, how those experiences shaped her worldview, and why she has dedicated much of her life to civic engagement and educating others about her perspective on America's future. Drawing from her Mexican-American heritage on her mother's side and her Venezuelan roots on her father's, Debbie offers a unique personal story that spans cultures, countries, and decades.Beyond politics, Debbie's lifelong passion for music has led to an extraordinary career. From singing on Venezuelan television as a young child to performing throughout the Rio Grande Valley, recording music, leading worship, and contributing vocals to several of Dinesh D'Souza's documentary films, her journey has been anything but ordinary. She also discusses her work behind the scenes as a producer and co-writer on documentary films and as producer of The Dinesh D'Souza Podcast.Whether you know Debbie from Harlingen High, her music, or her public work, this conversation is a fascinating look at a fellow Cardinal whose life has crossed cultures, careers, and history.Once A Cardinal, Always A Cardinal is the podcast where Harlingen High School alumni share the real stories of life after HHS, the challenges they faced, the victories they earned, and the lessons they learned along the way.If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share with fellow Cardinals and anyone who loves inspiring life stories.#OnceACardinalAlwaysACardinal #HarlingenHigh #HarlingenCardinals #RioGrandeValley #DebbieCesteroDSouza #Podcast #SouthTexas #CardinalPride
