Kyler travels across the Atlantic from Lisbon every year to return to his hometown’s Portuguese festa. This year we joined him at the Festa of Nossa Senhora dos Anjos (Feast of Our Lady of Angels) in Massachusetts, whose traditions originated in Kel's mom's village of Água de Pau, São Miguel. We share the experience with you in this episode.

079: At the Festa with Guest: Kyler Canastra

First generation Portuguese-Americans reflect on their heritage in a sarcastic and entertaining collection of discussions that preserve the past of our culture and look to shape the future of it. 

Sharing our own stories (and those of our guests and listeners) across the backdrop of the immigrant experience, we unwind ideas of guilt, fear, shame, and social norms influenced by ethnicity, religion, and media. Each new episode also has a segment dedicated to sharing mental health best practices (the elephant in the room of our culture).

Guests and listeners of all cultures encouraged!
