Persínate Paletita: Faith, Spirituality and Queerness - Ep # 5

Holi holi, Paletitas! In this episode of Las Paleteras, your favorite trio—Cesar, Ana Shelia, and Jose Richard aka Nalgona—dive deep into the intricate web of religion, spirituality, and queerness. Growing up in traditional religious households while embracing a queer identity often creates a unique (and sometimes complicated) relationship with faith. We’ll share our earliest church memories, explore how our spiritual journeys have evolved, and reflect on the intersection of faith and identity. We also uncover the story of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, a badass 17th-century Mexican nun and feminist trailblazer, and discuss how she inspires us as queer individuals navigating religion and spirituality today. Tune in as we talk about finding love and acceptance beyond organized religion, navigating family dynamics, and reimagining faith as a source of connection and empowerment. Plus, we share advice and resources for anyone reconciling their queer identity with their beliefs. Persínense Paletitas because this episode is one for the soul! Learn more about your ad choices.
