Bodega Baby with Jennifer Mota
Most people think professionalism is about fitting in, but what if it’s actually the reason we feel disconnected from ourselves? This podcast explores the tension between who we are and who we feel pressured to be at work, in relationships, and in everyday life.
Through candid conversations, we unpack how different environments shape our behavior, how limiting beliefs form, and what it looks like to actually understand yourself beyond the roles you play.

Jennifer Mota (here's her IG) is a Dominican-American multimedia journalist, music public scholar, multidisciplinary creative, and industry culture shifter. Mota first garnered media attention in 2019 with her article Recognizing Dominican Dembow: From Jamaica to El Alfa — the first investigated deep dive documenting Dominican dembow for U.S Latin mainstream media— highlighting the history and pioneers behind the sub-genre. Her expertise on the dembow scene scored her a monthly column in Remezcla, which she entitled “Si Tu Quiere Dembow,” as the first dembow columnist she reported on the genre’s past and present. In 2023, Remezcla included Mota in their annual Major Mujeres: Latinas Shaping the Industry list.
Throughout the years, she’s interviewed some of the most prominent Latinx artists in the world, writing for Rolling Stone, Highsnobiety, Teen Vogue, VIBE, Pitchfork, Tidal, Billboard, THE FACE, The Fader and many more. Her on-camera catalog includes platforms like Yahoo’s Live Build Series, The Fader, The Boiler Room’s “Deconstructed Series,” Rapeton, Twitch, and ABC News’s ‘The Latin Music Revolution: A Soul of a Nation Presentation’ and her visual productions and script writing have appeared on Foot Locker, Amazon Music, Afro Punk, People en Español and KEXP.
