This week we sat down with Amanda Pericles, a Speech Language Pathology Graduate Student and Creator & Owner of AfroLatinas.  Afrolatinas is a community that celebrates diversity & beauty among black women of Latin American descent.

In this episode, Amanda and I talk about uplifting Black & AfroLatinx narratives, juggling different life roles, overcoming financial and academic challenges, and building a supportive/ dynamic community.
