136. To My Latina Mamis: We Will Not Be Erased


Listen Later

I felt an overwhelming urge to break from my regular programming and speak directly to my Latina mama community about what's happening right now. Even though my family and I moved to Mexico over a month ago, my heart is still very much with our people in the United States. This completely unscripted episode comes straight from my heart as I process the Supreme Court's recent ruling that essentially gives ICE agents the green light to racially profile Latinos.

What you'll hear:

  • Why the recent Supreme Court ruling on ICE discrimination feels so personal to me as a Latina mother
  • The real reason the U.S. government feels threatened by our growing Latino population and economic power
  • My passionate plea to continue raising bilingual, culturally proud children despite the current climate
  • How our community's spending power makes us the equivalent of a top-five world economy
  • A call to action for all Latina mamas - those with privilege and those without - to stand together
