Latino Love: Celebrating Selena, Shedding Shame, and Learning to Love Yourself

All aboard the Carnival Cruise! Captain Lo VonRumpf would like to welcome you to a Mexican voyage just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month.  Lo is offering a free ticket to paradise to highlight the histories, cultures, and contributions of the Latino & Hispanic communities. First stop is Corpus Christi, Texas to learn more about Selena’s background and hear about Lo's personal experience as a Chicano (American of Mexican descent). Lo opens up about prejudice and colorism within minority communities, breaking the cycle of shame and sharing the challenges he faced attending a primarily white, affluent private school. The impact of Selena Quintanilla on the Hispanic community transcends generations and her influence on culture, fashion, music, and society continues today. From Selena’s very humble beginnings in Texas to her rise to fame and her tragic death, Lo dives into the world of the queen of Tejano. Similar to the way Elvis influenced Rock and Roll and Aretha Franklin influenced Soul, Selena revolutionized the world of Tejano music. Turn the volume up for an episode celebrating vulnerability, culture, and authenticity. This special episode honoring Selena has takeaways that will inspire you to live a more authentic life and serves as a reminder that we all have a voice and can leave a lasting impact on this world. Please be sure to rate, follow, review, and send to a friend so we can keep this sh!t show on the road, kings and kweens!
