Hyphenación KQED Hey, que onda? Welcome to Hyphenación, a podcast hosted by Xorje Andrés Olivares where conversation and cultura meet. What kind of no sabo word is Hyphenación? For us, it’s about living within a hyphenation. Like being a third-gen Mexican-American from the Texas border now living that Bay Area Chicano life—like Xorje! Each week we bring together a couple of hyphenated Latinos to talk all about personal life choices: family, careers, relationships, belonging … everything is on the table. We love listening to shows about culture and identity like Tamarindo, It’s Been a Minute, Latina to Latina, Vibe Check, Locatora Radio, and Dear Millennial. If you like them, too, then you’ll enjoy Hyphenación! So start listening! Homegirl Chat Claudia Ramos Hey Homegirl! Join me and chat about life from family, friends, my hustle, and inspired others with other people’s stories! Being a Latina not following the traditions from my culture has led me to learn a lot about myself and making me more confident following my goals. I launched my business which is a cute Latinx stationery brand called Hola Mijas Bonitas which shows the beauty of diversity and friendship in the Latinx community. I want everybody to leave inspired to do what you love!
