The Hood Raised Me
from Hella Latin@ Hosted by Odalys Jasmine
Nadia Elhawary is both Egyptian and Guatemalan but the hood raised her and her city Pasadena feels like home more than any country. She's a storyteller passing on this wisdom given by her ancestors and her purpose is loving on her people and loving herself deeply. Nadia is all about investing in our hoods, growing our hoods, and owning the block. She's 29 years young. She's an activist for the Black and brown community and especially womxn. When she's not fighting for her community, she's investing in self-love and using spirituality and ancestral practices to keep her grounded in this world. Connect with Nadia on Instagram @mselhawary and follow her co-founded organization, Hood Liberation on IG at @hoodliberation. As a Hella Latin@ listener, you get a free one-month membership to RisOn—an interactive weekly space created by two first-gen Latinos with the intention to mindfully unburden, introspect and connect.
