Ep. 14 – Politics: Cuando Tu Propia Gente Traiciona
En este episodio andamos encabronadas porque tenemos algo que decir. We talk about that moment when your own people vote against the very struggle our communities are still fighting, and the shock, frustration, and disbelief that comes with it. It only took one generation to go from barely surviving the system to now helping uphold it.This episode breaks down how politics becomes a performance, how some people switch up, chase acceptance, or choose convenience over comunidad. We talk about the ways power, privilege, and pressure reshape identities and how easy it is for some to forget where they came from once they feel comfortable.Then we zoom out to look at the impact on our communities in Chicago and beyond, the fear, the tension, and the everyday realities schools, businesses, and neighborhoods face when policies do not protect us.Finally, we reflect on resilience, staying grounded, and how to hold onto our roots even when politics gets personal. Porque aunque duela, todavia es nuestra gente.

Ep. 5 – Ni de aquí, ni de allá: Growing Up in the In-Between
What happens when you grow up straddling two cultures but never feeling fully accepted by either? In this episode, we explore the complex identity many Latinos face when raised in predominantly white spaces—where you're often seen as “other”—while also struggling to feel fully embraced by Latino communities. We talk about the loneliness, the code-switching, and how holding on to our culture can become difficult in environments that don’t reflect us. But through all the searching, there's power in carving out a sense of belonging—on your own terms.
