Eschuca Esto: 20 Podcasts produced by Latina Creators
Latinas Create. We know it, we love it, but what does it really look like? There currently exists this great divide between what popular culture presents to us and what is actually taking place across America, and the world, every day. Latina creators are taking up space, realizing that we don’t have to wait behind societies red tape and we are encouraging others to do the same. I am learning each day, just how deep the possibilities of our creations are and the answer is infinite.
