Tamara Dávila: Activism, Culture, and the Struggle for Democracy in Nicaragua | The Senchy Pody #10

Tamara Dávila joined our class, a few weeks ago, to speak about her activism and the current situation in Nicaragua, and I was immediately struck by her strength, positivity, and impactful work. She proudly identifies as a feminist and activist, titles that truly reflect who she is. I had the privilege of hosting her on my podcast, where we discussed the history and present state of Nicaragua, explored cultural differences (Latin America and USA), shared thoughts on books, and covered a variety of other topics.
