Johanna Toruño and The Unapologetic Street Series

On this episode, we speak to Johanna Toruño, a Salvadoran born migrant artist & creator of The Unapologetic Street Series. Their work focuses on the importance of queer folks in the arts and storytelling through accessible art in public spaces. Something Tamarindo has in common with Johanna is how the 2016 election motivated them to build community and connect with others with similar lived experiences, especially people who are immigrants.  This is our first episode with Ana Sheila back in L.A., after living a couple of years abroad in her native Mexico. We start with a discussion on transition. Plus, we reflect on our Self-Love Con Corazon event we hosted last month.  Chispa is the #1 dating app if you're looking to connect with other Latinx/Latine folk.
