Tamarindo

Babes of Wellness


Listen Later

  In this episode of Tamarindo, we speak to the power of belief, authenticity, and fostering inclusive community with Kat Novoa, the founder of Babes of Wellness. With a passion for uplifting and holding space for women of color, she opened  the first women and queer centered wellness gym in Compton, California in 2021. 

We highlight the new powerful music video and documentary by Bad Bunny and independent journalist Bianca Graulau, “El Apagón - Aquí Vive Gente”. The visual speaks to the displacement of Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico and modern colonization practices. 

We also talk about the latest atrocious pendejadas coming out of Florida where governor Desantis lured migrants from Venezuela, who have a legal claim to asylum, into flying to liberal cities, without warning to the receiving destinations.
