In this episode we welcome Dash Harris to the pod to celebrate "El Mes de La Etnia Negra". She's the co-founder of AfroLatino Travel, a Peabody award winning journalist, and a Doula based out of her home country of Panama. We discuss the realities of modern Afro Latinx identity (04:05), why blackness is misunderstood between the diaspora in the region (11:30), global black tourism in Latin America (27:10), and how the black travel movement is hurting some local black communities (37:25). This conversation was so good we made it into two parts! Make sure to check out part 2 in the next episode.
