Too American, Too Latino: Belonging everywhere and nowhere | INFINITE #033

In our first three-person podcast, Andres and Melissa are joined by their close friend Steven for a light, honest, and meaningful conversation. Early on, Steven opens up about the tension of living between two worlds—being seen as American within his Hispanic community, and Hispanic within the American spaces he navigates. It’s a reality many young people experience, yet rarely have the language to name.From there, the conversation flows into Steven’s roots in East Boston, his deep connection to El Salvador, and how culture, food, and community shape identity. They also reflect on relationships, including how Steven played a role in bringing Andres and Melissa together. The episode lands on a powerful insight about branding and identity—that people give meaning to brands, not logos, and that human stories are what truly carry value. A warm, funny, and thoughtful episode centered on belonging, culture, and the power of people.
