Spanglish State of Mind: Bicultural, Brave & a Bit Delusional

from Wait What's Next? · host Laura Alba & Leni Vaquez

Connect with us :)What happens when you grow up with a foot in two worlds? One where every goodbye lasts 45 minutes and everyone eats until the last guest leaves, and another where a wave or handshake does the trick? This week, Laura & Leni dive into the beautiful chaos of culture shock. A tell-all about quinceañeras that last three days, American dinners that wrap by 9 PM, and the art of feeding people like it’s a love language (hi, moms 👀). They share how growing up between cultures gives you the ultimate life advantage: connection. Because the truth is, the more we learn about each other, our food, our family traditions, our ways of showing love, the more we understand the world. This episode is a celebration of being multicultural, multilingual, and multi-layered. So come for the laughs, stay for the nostalgia, and leave feeling a little more connected to the people around you (and probably craving your mom’s arroz con pollo).Support the showWait...
