The Power of Ancestral Roots and Creativity in Collective Healing ft. Alexis Garcia - EP # 16

Hola Paletitas! We’ve officially kicked off Season 2! In this new episode of Las Paleteras, Ana Sheila and César are joined by Alexis Garcia, the creator of the beautiful short film Daughter of the Sea and co-founder of Botanica Pictures, to chat about healing, creativity, and identity.  They get real and dive into important topics like intergenerational trauma, decolonizing mindsets, and Afro-Latinidad. Alexis shares how storytelling can be a source of healing for ourselves that can ripple into our communities with what we create. They also touch on ways to find and stay connected to your purpose such as through indigenous wisdom and practices like nature walks, touching grass, and holding on to meaningful symbols like jewelry. The whole conversation is about honoring your roots, healing through creativity, and practices that help us along the way. We think you'll walk away feeling inspired to find your own path of healing, joy, and purpose.  If you love this episode, let us know by rating or reviewing the podcast and giving us a shoutout on your social media.
